Major methods to detect and quantify biomolecules

Each test method relies on one or more chemical and/or physical attributes of a biomolecule for detection and/or quantification. It is obviously impossible to captiue the sheer number of diverse methods that are used in biological, biomedical and environmental testing in this textbook. However, many of these methods

Utilize specialized instrumentation, which is based on simple chemical or physical principles. The following chapters consider arguably the most important of these techniques to the life and health scientist, but Table 2.1 gives a basic overview of the key principles underlying major bioanalytical methods.
