The book helps undergraduate, postgraduate and research students to perform basic experiments in biotechnology. The laboratory protocols are simple to understand by students from different scientific backgrounds. Each laboratory exercise contains an introductory unit, protocol and easy-to-follow instructions for reagent preparation. The methods and protocols given here aim to make students ready for independent research in biotechnology laboratories.

The protocols include
* DNA Isolation * Molecular Biology Methods
* RNA Isolation * Useful Information for Molecular Biology Methods
* Working with DNA * Preparation of Solutions
