Within this practical guide:
- The procedures and protocols for cell separation, handling cells on a microscope and for using cells in microfluidic devices are presented.
- Elements of cell culture are taken and combined with the practical advice necessary to maintain a cell lab and to handle cells properly during an analysis
- The main chapters deal with the fundamentals and applied aspects of each technique, with one complete chapter focusing on statistical considerations of analyzing cells
- Many diagram-based protocols for some of the more common cell processes are included
- Chapter summaries and extensive tables are included so that key information can be looked up easily in the lab setting
Much like a good manual or cookbook this book is a useful, practical guide and a handy reference for all students, researchers and practitioners involved in cellular analysis.
Dimitri Pappas is Assistant Professor in Analytical Chemistry at Texas Tech University. He obtained his B.S., University of Florida, 1998 followed by his Ph.D., University of Florida, 2002. He worked as a Research Scientist at Wyle Laboratories, NASA/Johnson Space Center, 2002-05 before taking up his post at Texas Tech. His key areas of research are: Analytical Fluorescence and Raman Spectroscopy; Cellular Analysis; Flow Cytometry; Optics
With the focus on the interface between cell science and analytical chemistry. Dr. Pappas is currently developing novel analytical methods to study intact cells, cell digests, and tissue aggregates using spectroscopic and immunochemical techniques. The majority of his group’s research is geared toward clinical analysis as well as medical testing in remote areas.
