Short description
Bioanalytical Chemistry for Life and Health Sciences: Principles and Applications is a single core textbook, with supplementary learning materials, which provides a novel teaching and learning resource for tutors and students of first year undergraduate chemistry. The book describes basic principles, terminology, and core technologies, which include modern experimental techniques and equipment used to analyse important biomolecules in diagnostic, industrial, and research laboratory settings. It also provides an introduction to advanced technologies used in the emerging fields of genomics, peptidomics/proteomics, and metabolomics.
