Description

This book is a practical guide to the preparation and use of immobilized affinity ligands for purification, catalysis, and analysis. Special emphasis is given to immunochemical techniques including antibody isolation, preparation of antibody fragments using immobilized enzymes, and immunoaffinity chromatography. The book provides easy-to-follow, well-tested protocols to allow the uninitiated to use these techniques to the maximum advantage with minimum hassle. In addition, it shows researchers how to save money by making their own optimized affinity supports.

Key features

Review quotes

"The format and binding...is an ideal choice for a laboratory techniques book and it is attractively priced. I would strongly recommend it to anyone interested in affinity chromatography and associated topics and consider it to be the overall best laboratory manual on the subject that I've seen to date."—JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGICAL METHODS
