Standard Methods of Clinical Chemistry, Volume I focuses on the methods used most frequently in the clinical laboratory. This book examines the scientific basis of each method, its scope, as well as its limitations. Organized into 19 chapters, this volume starts with an overview of the scope of the clinical chemist's responsibility, which includes the collection of the specimen for analysis, performance of the test, reporting the results to a responsible party, and interpretation of results to clinicians. This book then explores serum amylase activity, which may be demonstrated under several conditions of temperature, time, and substrate quality. Other chapters explore the significance of blood glucose determinations in the detection of diabetes mellitus and the control of this disease by evaluation of the various dosages of insulin. The final chapter deals with the methods for the estimation of uric acid. Clinical chemists, laboratory workers, and technicians will find this book extremely useful.

Paper Chromatography: A Laboratory Manual focuses on methods, technologies, and processes, and aims to provide readers with a readily accessible source for the uses and adaptations of paper chromatography. The book first offers information on general methods, including descending, ascending, and ascending-descending chromatography, filter paper ""chromatopile"", ""reversed phase"" paper chromatography, and paper electrophoresis. The text then elaborates on quantitative methods and amino acids, amines, and proteins. Discussions focus on visual comparison, elution, area of spot, total color of spot, maximum color density, identification of amines, separation of proteins, and general directions. The publication examines carbohydrates and aliphatic acids and steroids. Topics include simple sugars, miscellaneous derived sugars, and aliphatic acids. The text also ponders on purines, pyrimidines, and related substances and phenols, aromatic acids, and porphyrins. The text is a valuable reference for readers interested in paper chromatography.

Radioactive Tracers in Biology: An Introduction to Trace Methodology, Second Edition focuses on the biochemical and physiological aspects of tracer research, including medical applications of tracer techniques, radioactivity, radiation hazards, and radioactive isotopes. The book first offers information on atomic nuclei, radioactivity, and the production of radioactive isotopes and radiation characteristics of tracer atoms. Discussions focus on nuclear reactions, neutron-induced and deuteron-induced transmutations, properties of atomic nuclei, and target techniques and radiochemistry. The manuscript also ponders on the procedures for radioactive assay and radiation hazards. The text examines the biochemical, medical, and physiological applications of tracer methodology. The manuscript also takes a look at radioactive hydrogen, short-lived and long-lived radioactive carbon, radioactive phosphorus and sulfur, and alkali metal and alkaline earth tracers. Topics include synthesis of organic intermediates for tracer carbon studies; biosynthesis of labeled carbon compounds; and general survey of alkali metal tracers. The publication is a dependable reference for readers interested in radioactive tracers.
