Description

This book of “Practical Biochemistry Manual” fulfil the need for a comprehensive book on Practical Biochemistry. Practical Clinical Biochemistry in a nutshell. Questions are given at the end of chapters. It covers all the basic aspects of Practical Biochemistry such as basic equipment and glassware, basic calculations, laboratory hazards, preparation of molar and normal solutions and preparation of buffers. Basic qualitative and quantitative tests are explained. Advanced aspects such as chromatography, electrophoresis, quality control and automation are discussed. Reference ranges for all the routinely done Biochemical tests are given. Case-oriented approach: wherever applicable, clinical significance of tests done in clinical biochemistry laboratory is highlighted. Case reports are given, which helps the students to develop a clinical-oriented approach and integrates the basic Biochemistry with Clinical Medicine. In the present book an effort has been made to discuss these biochemical techniques in simple and lucid manner so that reader can have comprehensive understanding of the subject. Unlike other basic science subjects like Chemistry, Zoology and Botany, Biochemistry practical generally require a variety of chemicals and expensive equipment. One of the highlighted part of the present text is that it covers the practical aspects of different biochemical techniques for undergraduate and postgraduate students of life sciences. It deals with all the topics related to this field. The present text is just a compilation of facts and interpretation from different sources.
