Catatan

In designing the content of this latest edition we continued our previous policy of
placing emphasis on the recommendations we have received from colleagues and
academics outside our university. Above all, we have attempted to respond to the
invaluable feedback from student users of our book both in the UK and abroad. In this
seventh edition we have retained all 16 chapters from the previous edition. All have
been appropriately updated to reflect recent developments in their fields, as exemplified
by the inclusion of a section on stem cells in the cell culture chapter. Three of these
chapters have new authors and have been completely rewritten. Robert Burns, Scottish
Agricultural Science Agency, Edinburgh has written the chapter on immunochemical
techniques, and Andreas Hofmann, Eskitis Institute of Molecular Therapies, Griffith
University, Brisbane, Australia has written the two chapters on spectroscopic
techniques. We are delighted to welcome both authors to our team of contributors.
