At the Bench is the unique and hugely successful handbook for living and working in the laboratory, an essential aid to understanding basic lab techniques and how research groups work at a human level. In this newly revised edition, chapters have been rewritten to accommodate the impact of computer technology and the Internet, not only on the acquisition and analysis of data, but also on its organization and presentation. Alternatives to the use of radiation have been expanded, and figures and illustrations have been redrawn to reflect changes in laboratory equipment and procedures.

Great source to help starting out in the lab:
This manual is a good source of information, it covers diverese topics in a general to medium dept level, offering usefull information for those who are starting out their lab work & rutines (grad students like me). It also tells you were to get more information on the subject at hand. Very usefull.
review:
the book was like brand new and it got shipped when they said they would have
good lab intro for non-lab-tech types:
I am a nursing student with no background in genetics trying to find my way through a biology seminar in virology. I think this book is effective in helping me to understand some of the background knowledge on experiments reported in the primary literature--knowledge that the biology students take for granted.
Lab Bible:
Every graduate student/new lab tech should get this when they begin working in the lab. I recommend Lab Ref too.
