This comprehensive laboratory handbook offers a wealth of techniques to assist students in conducting diverse experiments in the field of biochemistry. The experimental protocols outlined in this book have been meticulously standardized and executed in the author's own laboratory. Primarily designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying life sciences, including biochemistry, microbiology, biotechnology, plant biotechnology, animal biotechnology, botany, and zoology, as well as engineering, particularly biotechnology and biomedical, this handbook serves as a valuable resource for their laboratory courses.

Students often face the challenge of navigating through numerous journals and books to locate the appropriate procedures for conducting experiments. Consequently, this handbook aims to offer them a convenient and concise format, encompassing the frequently employed methods, along with explanations of principles, procedures, and interpretations of the results obtained from these experiments.

In its second edition, this handbook introduces ten new experiments, presented in a step-by-step procedural format, under the heading "In Vitro Enzymatic Anti-Oxidant Assays." These experiments encompass Determination of Nitric Oxide Radical Scavenging Activity, Determination of Catalase Activity, Determination of Laccase Activity, and Concentration and Diafiltration.

One of the key features of this handbook is its provision of a general procedure of the experiments in an easily understandable tabular format. Additionally, the book delves into the physiological significance of bio-components such as amino acids, uric acid, carbohydrates, proteins, and other essential molecules in the human body, providing an enriched learning experience. Separate appendices are dedicated to the preparation of laboratory reagents, ensuring a smooth and seamless execution of the experiments. Furthermore, illustrative diagrams are included to enhance the understanding of the procedures and concepts involved.

By utilizing this laboratory handbook, students will gain a thorough understanding of the various biochemistry experiments and develop the skills necessary to execute them with precision and success. It serves as a valuable companion for their academic journey, equipping them with the knowledge and tools required to excel in their scientific endeavors.
