Reiner Westermeier (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 31, 2005 | ISBN-10: 3527311815 | ISBN-13: 978-3527311811 | Edition: 4th, Revised and Updated Edition

This laboratory guide for successful electrophoretic separations is divided into two parts to provide readers with a thorough presentation of the fundamentals followed by a detailed description of the most common methods currently in use.
This fourth edition retains the successful concept of its predecessors, yet features a brand-new layout, and is further enhanced by a section on difference gel electrophoresis, while the chapter on proteome analysis is practically all new and considerably extended, plus there are now around 10 % new literature references.

Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews of previous editions:

"The illustrations are informative and to the point...The book clearly illustrates the competence of the author. He generously shares his experience and knowledge with the reader, especially in the field of gel-based electrophoresis...an excellent reference to help the reader to become acquainted with the field of electrophoresis. The book contains theoretical and ample practical information that serves not only the practician in the electrophoresis laboratory, but also students and lecturers in electrophoretic methods." (Clinical Chemistry)

"The rigorous description of each method along with the extensive figures will easily allow the novice to reproduce these methods in the laboratory" (The Analyst)

"An excellent book which we recommend greatly and which has not to be missed in any laboratory of cellular and molecular biology which respects itself." (Cellular and Molecular Biology)

"As a comprehensive guide to the huge variety of electrophoretic methods now available, this is very good value. The superb troubleshooting appendix almost justifies the price on its own." (Laboratory Equipment Digest)

This review is from: Electrophoresis in Practice: A Guide to Methods and Applications of DNA and Protein Separations (Hardcover)

This second edition has a wonderful overview of the use of electrophoresis of proteins and nucleic acids. Thoughtful reviews of all of the components: theory, gel compositions, instrumentation, interpretations, and trouble shooting are truly ideal for the practioner. The book is well written and provides a wonderful bibliography. The text of the book is well written and well organized. The table of contents and the index can get a practioner up to speed with clear procedure quickly. The figures are extremely helpful. This should be an excellent lab resource
