The ideal pairing of student instruction and laboratory experimentation, the Biotechnology: Science for the New Millenium Text and accompanying Lab Manual offer students an immersive experience in biotechnology labs. Beginning with an introduction to concepts and processes of biotech research and manufacturing, the text guides students through the principles and techniques necessary for biotech lab work. Additional information is included regarding bioethics, recent discoveries, and career options in the field of biotechnology. Students will learn to apply this practical knowledge to the 100 lab activities covered in the manual. Working through the experiments, students will learn the standard lab operating procedures (SLOP) of a biotechnology facility, and feel better prepared for advanced course work and industry upon the program’s completion. The manual’s activities address key concepts, including protein isolation and analysis, DNA synthesis, recombinant DNA, cell culture, and more. Necessary strategies, methods, and documentation are integrated into each experiment, allowing students to accurately analyze their lab results. Safety procedures are stressed throughout the manual and text. Both come packaged with an interactive multimedia CD, presenting lab skill tutorials, quizzes, flash cards, crossword puzzles, a glossary and more. Text: hardcover or softcover, 420 pages. Manual: spiralbound, 264 pages.
