Editorial Review:
At the Bench is the unique and hugely successful handbook for living and working in the laboratory, an essential aid to understanding basic lab techniques and how research groups work at a human level. In this newly revised edition, chapters have been rewritten to accommodate the impact of computer technology and the Internet, not only on the acquisition and analysis of data, but also on its organization and presentation. Alternatives to the use of radiation have been expanded, and figures and illustrations have been redrawn to reflect changes in laboratory equipment and procedures.

Rating:  - Lab Bible
Every graduate student/new lab tech should get this when they begin working in the lab. I recommend Lab Ref too.
Rating: - Great accompaniment to bio lab course
If you haven't had a lab course before then this is a great book for you. It touches on just about anything you could do from storage and disposal to centrifugation. Very practical information.

I wish I had read this book when I started off on my scientific career.

This will give the beginner a framework upon which to expand their understanding ... Read More

If you've ever made an experienced lab person angry when you've moved their equipment or borrowed their reagents you'll understand how helpful this book is!

If you are a first timer to the lab setting as I was 3 yrs ago, this is a great book to have as a reference.

Diagrams give you insight to unfamiliar equipment and she provides notable references if you need more information. The great thing about this book is that it provides you with the basic tools you need to get started at a low cost. Once you have read this book you'll ... Read More
