Animal Cell Culture and Technology

Informationen zum Autor Michael Butler Klappentext Animal cell culture is an important laboratory technique in the biological and medical sciences. It has become an essential tool for the study of most biochemical and physiological processes and the use of large-scale animal cell culture has become increasingly important to the commercial production of specific compounds for the pharmaceutical industry. This book describes the basic requirements for establishing and maintaining cell cultures both in the laboratory and in large-scale operations. Minimal background knowledge of the subject is assumed and therefore it will be a readable introduction to animal cell culture for undergraduates, graduates and experienced researchers. Zusammenfassung Provides all essential practical information for establishing a laboratory animal cell culture. Comprehensive glossary of terms. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
