<p><b><i>Biochemical Ecotoxicology: Principles and Methods</i></b> presents practical approaches to biochemical ecotoxicology experiments for environmental protection and conservation.</p> <p>With its methodical, stepped approach this essential reference introduces readers to current techniques for toxicity endpoint testing, suitable for laboratories of any size and budget. Each chapter presents a state-of-the-art principle, a quick and inexpensive procedure (including appropriate reagents), case studies, and demonstrations on how to analyze your results.</p> <p>Generic techniques are covered, suitable for a variety of organisms, as well as high-throughput techniques like quantitative polymerase chain reactions and enzyme-linked immunoassays. Cutting-edge approaches, including microarrays and ‘omics’ techniques, are also included, making this is an essential reference for anyone who needs to assess environmental toxicity.</p><ul><li>Practical, cost-effective approaches to assess environmental toxicity endpoints for all types of organism</li><li>Presents theory, methods, case studies and information on how to analyze results</li><li>State-of-the-art techniques, such as ‘omics’ approaches to toxicology and microarrays</li> </ul>
