Springer Lab Protocols

Springer Protocols is a database of nearly 18,000 reproducible laboratory protocols in the Life and Biomedical Sciences. Protocols are compiled from Humana’s book series Methods in Molecular Biology, Methods in Molecular Medicine, Methods in Biotechnology, Methods in Pharmacology and Toxicology, and Neuromethods, as well as from a vast number of laboratory handbooks such as The Biomethods Handbook, The Proteomics Handbook, and the Springer Laboratory Manuals. Springer Protocols offers researchers access to nearly thirty years worth of step-by-step protocols for use in their lab.

Used primarily in the life sciences, protocols provide individual sets of instructions that allow scientists to recreate experiments in their own laboratory. These documents provide instructions for the design and implementation of experiments that include the safety bias, procedural equipment, statistical methods, reporting and troubleshooting standards for the experiment.

The Springer Protocols are organized into 15 subject collections:
Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, Cancer Research, Cell Biology, Genetics/Genomics, Imaging/Radiology, Immunology, Infectious Diseases, Microbiology, Molecular Medicine, Neuroscience, Pharmacology/Toxicology, Plant Sciences and Protein Science.

Keep up-to-date with new protocols by subscribing to RSS feeds or by signing up for email alerts.

You can search for protocols or browse by subject area. Methods in Molecular Biology and Methods in Molecular Medicine are also indexed in PubMed. Access to Springer Protocols is available through the Dal Libraries databases page and the Kellogg Library's e-book page, or you can link directly to Springer Protocols
