Conn’s Biological Stains, A Handbook of Dyes, Stains and Fluorochromes for Use in Biology and Medicine, 10th ed.

1 of 1

General description

For 75 years Conn's Biological Stains has been a standard reference for those who used dyes and colorants in biological and medical sciences. This edition appears 25 years after the last and has been completely rewritten to reflect the increase in range of uses. Although staining of microscopical preparations continues to expand the uses of dyes and fluorochromes now extend beyond this application. This book provides the first overview of the whole range of low molecular weight fluorescent probes, outside the catalog literature. First ten chapters are essays on the important aspects of colorants and their uses. The remainder consists of descriptions of properties and recent applications of hundreds of individual compounds, in about twenty chemical classes.
