Spiral bound with a hard case for durability, this book can be used as a prime reference tool at the laboratory bench. An index helps locate facts quickly. This data book complements protocol-oriented laboratory guides with up-to-date data and references on cell lines, culture techniques, cell characterization, separation, cloning, media, preservation, growth factors, products, equipment, safety, terminology, suppliers, and associations.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Full of the sort of information one finds in the better catalogues from molecular biology, radiochemical and chemical companies. Genotypes of bacteria, restriction sites, enzyme buffers, decay curves for 125I are all here. The book scores in my view because is has collected all these things together in one place... I think it is well worth getting."
--NATURE
"This spiral bound handbook brings together a wealth of information of use to the experimenter... The book would be of value in any molecular cloning laboratory."
--AGBIOTECH NEWS AND INFORMATION
"Contains a wealth of very useful information for any molecular biology laboratory. The book is a very useful reference source which, in the reviewer's opinion, complements the wide variety of molecular biology protocol books available."
--BIOLOGIST

From the Back Cover

LABFAX volumes are purpose-designed data reference books for practicing scientists. Each book presents the key information for a major subject in one place and so saves hours of searching. It does not simply collect together data which are already available in catalogues since these are often incomplete and can contain conflicting information. Rather, the authors and editors of each LABFAX volume have searched the original literature for the accurate data they know the subject specialist needs.
Cell Culture Labfax is a detailed compendium of essential information - on cell lines, culture media and buffers, initiation and maintenance of cultures and hybridomas, cell separation and characterization, microcarriers, culture vessels, bioreactors, etc. - needed on an almost daily basis by researchers growing cells in culture. As a data reference source, it is a natural companion to Cell Biology Labfax.
