The textbook Practical Skills in Biomolecular Sciences, 6th Edition, authored by Rob Reed, Jonathan Weyers, David A Holmes, and Allan Jones, provides comprehensive instruction in practical laboratory techniques and academic study skills. Published by Pearson in December 2021, this volume supports undergraduate students across biochemistry, microbiology, biomedical sciences, and cellular and molecular bioscience degree programmes.
The text addresses core analytical operations, experimental planning, survey design, and scientific data presentation. Learners explore specific methods for assaying biomolecules, implementing molecular genetics procedures, completing literature reviews, and measuring key parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH probes, and microelectrodes.
This sixth edition features dedicated content on self-management and teamwork alongside three new microbiological chapters focused on working with bacteria, eukaryotic microbes, and viruses. End-of-chapter study exercises offer direct practice for students preparing for laboratory coursework, practical assessments, and written examinations.
