Food-Borne Pathogens: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Biotechnology)
by Catherine Adley (Editor)

Product Details
Hardcover: 280 pages
Publisher: Humana Press; 1 edition (October 6, 2005)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 158829465X

Book Description
A collection of readily reproducible classic and emerging molecular methods for the laboratory isolation and identification of the pathogens, viruses, and parasites that cause food-borne disease. Among the pathogens covered are specific bacteria, including Salmonella spp, Campylobacter spp., Listeria spp., and Bacillus spp.; viruses, including noroviruses and enteroviruses; and parasites, including Cryptosporidium and seafood nematode worms. The protocols follow the successful Methods in Biotechnology series format, each offering step-by-step laboratory instructions, an introduction outlining the principles behind the technique, lists of the necessary equipment and reagents, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Enzyme & Microbial Biosensors: Techniques and Protocols

Enzyme & Microbial Biosensors: Techniques and Protocols (Methods in Biotechnology)
by Ashok Mulchandani (Editor), Kim Rogers (Editor)

Product Details
Hardcover: 284 pages
Publisher: Humana Press; 1st edition (May 15, 1998)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0896034100

Book Description
A cutting-edge collection of detailed, step-by-step techniques and protocols for constructing, evaluating, and using enzyme- and microbial-based biosensors. Ideal for novices starting research in their field or experienced researchers wanting to use a biosensor for a specific analytical measurement, the methods detailed here allow biochemists, analytical chemists, microbiologists, and engineers to successfully apply biosensor technology to their specific problems. The techniques include classical enzyme biosensors based on potentiometric, amperometric, conductimetric, optical, and thermal transducers, as well cell-based biosensors based on amperometric and optical transducers. A companion volume, Affinity Biosensors: Protocols and Techniques, by Rogers & Mulchandani, concentrates on cell- and affinity-based biosensors.
