This unique CD-ROM presents information on over 200 core cell biology protocols, using multimedia facilities such as video clips, animations, intuitive search methods, and recipe tables. Each protocol is covered in a clear, user-friendly, and methodical way. The invaluable information enables students and researchers to achieve the highest quality results, including essential troubleshooting advice for the many steps discussed.

Multimedia Methods in Cell Biology allows users to group any combination of protocols in any sequence. The ability to link the exact combination of protocols is unique - only the Multimedia Methods series allows users to define protocols themselves. This CD-ROM serves students and staff in universities, research establishments, and commercial laboratories, ensuring safe and accurate practice of the techniques discussed.

• The most important procedures in experimental cell biology today covered in step-by-step instructions for a total of 200 protocols.

• The unique protocol group builder allows researchers to create personal protocols and to create combinations of new and/or existing protocols.

• Specialist Searching Facility: whether you want to pinpoint a specific protocol or simply look up a general term, the search engine makes navigation much easier.

• Equipped with Boolean (and, or, not) search operators for multi-term searching.

• Custom Tables found in the recipe section of each protocol detail weights and volumes needed to produce relevant reagents and solutions.

• Edit Function in Custom Tables allows you to change the final volume, automatically recalculating the other values in the recipe.

• Video Transcripts: full transcripts are now provided for all commentaries on over 40 video and animated clips helping you gain a better understanding of the theory behind the practical techniques involved.

• Hyperlinked glossary terms and references.

• Hazard and toxicity information.

• Extensive guides and usage tips.

• A publication of the Nature Publishing Group, publisher of the distinguished journal, Nature.

Multimedia Methods in Cell Biology is a comprehensive multimedia training tool designed to assist in teaching and development of experimental skills. This essential CD-ROM employs a wide range of multimedia facilities to guide the user in a concise and methodical manner, with step-by-step accounts of each protocol. It also contains over 200 protocols, intuitive search methods, and over 40 video and animation clips. Special features include the unique protocol builder and the protocol group manager which allows researchers to create their own protocols and to group together any combination of protocols in any sequence and the easy to edit recipe tables to assist in calculating weights for required molarities. The combination of these unique features as well as color illustrations, videos to explain complete steps in details, sophisticated searching facilities and references to primary literature ensures that its users won't fail to understand and successfully complete the most complicated experiments.
