Fullerton, California: Beckman Instruments Inc., 1993. — 87 p.This handbook, the first of a series on modern analytical ultracentrifugation, is intended for scientists who are contemplating the use of this powerful group of techniques. The goals of this little book are: to introduce you to the sorts of problems that can be solved through the application of analytical ultracentrifugation; to describe the different types of experiments
that can be performed in an analytical ultracentrifuge; to describe simply the principles behind the various types of experiments that can be performed; and to guide you in selecting a method and conditions for a particular type of problem.Contents
