Laboratory Exercises and Techniques in Cellular Biology

Laboratory Exercises and Techniques in Cellular Biology by Anthony Contento is a practical laboratory manual featuring more than 30 experiments designed to complement undergraduate cellular biology coursework. Aligned with the chapters of Karp’s cell biology textbook, it offers three flexible formats focused on laboratory techniques, biological concepts, or cellular organelles. Standardized experimental procedures are supported by overview pages, discussion questions, and data sheets, allowing instructors to adapt laboratory activities to their curriculum, experience, equipment, and available supplies.
