Focusing on bioanalytical chemistry this innovative new textbook provides a novel approach to the teaching of chemistry to a wide range of biomedical science students. The main aim of the book is to provide a solid grounding in essential and fundamental concepts and applications of chemistry and to ensure sound knowledge and understanding for students of life and health sciences. It is clearly written and user-friendly, with numerous full colour illustrations, annotated images, diagrams and tables to enhance learning.   Understanding Bioanalytical Chemistry describes basic principles, terminology and core technologies, which include modern experimental techniques and equipment used to analyse important biomolecules in diagnostic, industrial and research laboratory settings. Using the latest most successful approaches to teaching and learning and   concentrating on real-world applications of these techniques, the authors ensure that students will master  key chemical concepts and fully understand their relevance and importance to the biomedical sciences. The book also refers to the very latest bioanalytical techniques that students will encounter and study in depth in later years of their course.
