Infos

As analytical chemistry and biology move closer together,
biologists are performing increasingly sophisticated analytical
techniques on cells. Chemists are also turning to cells as a
relevant and important sample to study newly developed methods.
Practical Cell Analysis provides techniques, hints, and
time-saving tips explaining what may be "common
knowledge" to one field but are often hidden or unknown to
another.

Within this practical guide:

* The procedures and protocols for cell separation, handling
cells on a microscope and for using cells in microfluidic devices
are presented.

* Elements of cell culture are taken and combined with the
practical advice necessary to maintain a cell lab and to handle
cells properly during an analysis

* The main chapters deal with the fundamentals and applied
aspects of each technique, with one complete chapter focusing on
statistical considerations of analyzing cells

* Many diagram-based protocols for some of the more common cell
processes are included

* Chapter summaries and extensive tables are included so that key
information can be looked up easily in the lab setting

Much like a good manual or cookbook this book is a useful,
practical guide and a handy reference for all students, researchers
and practitioners involved in cellular analysis.

Autor

Dimitri Pappas is Assistant Professor in Analytical Chemistry at Texas Tech University. He obtained his B.S., University of Florida, 1998 followed by his Ph.D., University of Florida, 2002. He worked as a Research Scientist at Wyle Laboratories, NASA/Johnson Space Center, 2002-05 before taking up his post at Texas Tech. His key areas of research are: Analytical Fluorescence and Raman Spectroscopy; Cellular Analysis; Flow Cytometry; Optics With the focus on the interface between cell science and analytical chemistry. Dr. Pappas is currently developing novel analytical methods to study intact cells, cell digests, and tissue aggregates using spectroscopic and immunochemical techniques. The majority of his group's research is geared toward clinical analysis as well as medical testing in remote areas.

Rezensionen

"It is a valuable means to get started in the field and targets mainly scientists without prior experience in cell biology . . . In summary, the book has earned its place on the bench in an interdisciplinary life science environment." (Anal Bioanal Chem, 2010)
