Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This exceptionally clear and accessible introduction to bioanalytics, which includes numerous features of an encyclopedia such as dedicated frames with technical information, also offers readers four-color graphics, photos and varied texts on the topic.
MoreLong description:
Modeled in its aims and graphic presentation on the supremely successful manual Biotechnology for Beginners, this book is angled at students and higher-education instructors of medicine, biotechnology, biochemistry, chemistry and the ecological sciences; medical technologists; lab technicians; biology and chemistry teachers; and readers of Scientific American looking for a readily understandable introduction to biological analysis methods and their applications.
Largely speaking, it deals with bioanalytic facts, examining the way they interconnect and the background knowledge required to understand them, yet it also discusses the economic and ethical pros and cons involved. The text is easy to read and strongly geared to teaching the subject. Further, the wide range of pictorial features makes it especially interesting and entertaining. The layout is based on that of Biotechnology for Beginners. This manual is an excellent preparation for the Spektrum book on bioanalysis as well as the experimentation volumes from the same publisher.
