Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The value of radioisotopes to biological research is undisputed. Without their availability and use we would be ignorant of a vast range of physiological and biochemical processes, including intermediatary metabolism, neurochemistry, hormone action and protein synthesis. The range and detail of applications is vast and beyond the scope of any book. However, there are general principles and techniques common to all or most radiotracer experiments: in the first place, the decisions to use then chose a radioisotope; secondly, the establishment of a suitable working environment conducive to safe laboratory practice and the compliance with relevant legislation; thirdly, the principles of safe and efficient experimental design, and finally the radiation detection and data analysis. These features, essential to any radioisotope experiment, are fully explored in this book. explores these
