Instrumentation in Biology

By Victor Ajibade

THE ANALYTICAL EQUIPMENT USED IN THE BIOLOGICAL AND MEDICAL SCIENCES is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Both undergraduate and postgraduate students in these fields come across a considerable variety of instruments. In my experience many students approach such equipment with a "black box" mentality, using an instrument for diagnosis, but without understanding the physical and chemical principles involved in the technique. Instrumentation in Biology is a course designed to study several biological gadgets on the basis of their construction and understanding the assemblage of various components to facilitate adequate functioning. In biological laboratories most equipment are designed to view, diagnose diseases, estimate and identify samples. This book is compiled from basic knowledge acquired by the author both in the classroom, laboratories and on the field. It is divided into ten chapters. I hope it will provide useful information for students in biology and all related areas - Biochemistry, Physiology, Botany, Agriculture and Medicine. It also provides information on maintenance, how & where these instruments are applicable in education, industries and health institutions
