The book discusses the measurement and properties of ionizing radiations; magnetic resonance and related techniques in magnetic susceptibility measurements; and chromatographic methods and applications of chromatography to steroid research. The text then describes the phenomenon of centrifugation, including the techniques for studying density gradient centrifugation; the formation of gradient column in swinging-bucket tubes; gradient materials; density gradient centrifugation in heavy salt; some factors influencing the distribution of sedimenting particles; and the recovery of samples. Biological investigators and students of biophysics or biochemistry will find the book invaluable.
