This review is from: Animal Cell Culture and Technology (THE BASICS (Garland Science)) (Paperback)

This book is an excellent resource for students and beginning scientific reaseraches. It is a good source of basic methods and techniques for successful laboratory cell culture procedures. Most of the current cell culture methods are covered but this coverage is not very detailed. Again, excellent for beginners.
