Product Description
Cell culture techniques are invaluable to the modern researcher but difficult to carry out successfully. As part of the series of Handbooks in Practical Animal Cell Biology, this volume offers a concise practical guide to the basic essentials of the technique. Researchers new to cell culture will find a clear explanation of the essential equipment of a tissue culture facility, including tissue culture media and sera. It describes methods for growing suspension and adhesion cultures, including how to store cells and prepare primary cultures from cells. For those already culturing cells, the handbook will act as a handy reference to the basic techniques. The essence of the book is to deal with the generalities of cell culture and to give a grasp of the basic concepts before involvement in more specialized work in the field. Ideal for anyone moving into tissue cell culture techniques or looking for a concise reference book.
Book Description
Covering the basic essentials for growing cells outside the body, this handbook is aimed at those carrying out tissue cell culture for the first time, or researchers looking for a concise reference to this much used technique. Advice is given on the right equipment, solutions and ingredients necessary to prepare a medium in which cells will grow. Step by step guides are included which explain how to count, grow and store cells, how to tell if cells are growing healthily and what to do if things go wrong. Written in accessible style for those new to the field.

From Book to Bench-Cell Culturing Made Easy May 16, 2000
19 out of 19 found this review helpful
Whether a first year college student or a seasoned researcher, General Techniques of Cell Culture is a must. GTCC simplifies the complicated world of cell culturing without insulting. The authors, Maureen A. Harrison and Ian F. Rae, make no assumptions about their readers, and take the task of explaining large amounts of scientific information in an organized and easy to read format. This handbook goes beyond general lab techniques and provides not only the "how-to", but also gives the developing lab the where at, as it rounds out each section with a directory of services and researchable references. By providing time honored techniques, General Techniques of Cell Culture also takes some of the trial and error out of propagating healthy cells in the lab. This alone should make the transition from book to bench less tedius and more productive.
