The advent of dedicated bio-instruments and computers has facilitated an explosive progress in the
instrumental methods of analysis in biology. Large number of data points, whether they are
physicochemical or biological, can be collected, stored, manipulated and analyzed with a high
precision with the help of modern sophisticated instruments having high sensitivity, selectivity, and
extremely low detection limit. This course aims at providing a sufficient background of these
instruments, their handling and application, in the field of molecular biology, structural biology and
biotechnology.
