Radioisotopes in Biology: A Practical Approach
R. J. Slater
Hardcover
(Oxford University Press, Aug. 30, 1990)
Here is a complete guide to the wide variety of uses of radioisotopes in biological investigations. A useful alternative to multiple sources, the book provides an informative introduction to the theory behind this growing technology, as well as practical advice on isotope and equipment choice, radiation protection, and safety measures. Procedural advice on in vivo and in vitro labelling, autoradiography, and immunoassay, will be applicable in several types of investigations, and practitioners will find the convenient summaries of U.S. and U.K. legislation governing these materials to be a particularly useful timesaver.
