No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1974–75 to 1993–94 (before that, 1970–71 used the number for Physics for Biologists 1); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Radioactive labelling and counting, liquid scintillation counting, autoradiography. Techniques for studying biological macromolecules including chromatography (gel sieving, affinity, ion-exchange), electrophoresis, absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, centrifugation and separation. Cell Techniques: sorting, counting, viability and separation. Ligand binding. Immunological assay methods. Fluorescence microscopy. Cytofluorometry.
As printed in the 1987–88 to 1993–94 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
