Finding Lab Protocols & Methods

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols This link opens in a new window
An interdisciplinary journal providing a definitive source of research methods in cell, developmental and molecular biology, genetics, bioinformatics, protein science, computational biology, immunology, neuroscience and imaging. Each monthly issue details multiple essential methods—a mix of cutting-edge and well-established techniques.
Springer Experiments This link opens in a new window
Compiling protocols from Humana’s successful 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, this resource offers researchers access to nearly thirty years worth of time tested, easily reproducible, step-by-step protocols.

Nature Methods
From Nature Publishing Group, a forum for the publication of novel methods and significant improvements to tried-and-tested basic research techniques in the life sciences. Published monthly.
Nature Protocols
From Nature Publishing Group, an online journal of laboratory protocols for bench researchers. Protocols are presented in a 'recipe' style providing step-by-step descriptions of procedures which users can take to the lab and immediately apply in their own research. Protocols on the site are fully searchable and organized into logical categories to be easily accessible to researchers.

Current protocols essential laboratory techniques
In-depth information for experienced researchers looking for fresh insight into fundamental techniques, while remaining accessible to young scientists preparing to run an electrophoresis gel for the first time.
Current Protocols in Molecular Biology
Includes more than 1,000 procedures from hundreds of biologists at top laboratories around the globe; offers a range of basic methods for DNA preparation to advanced procedures for microarray analysis, chromatin assembly, and more. Covers emerging areas, including mouse phenotyping, DNA construction by recombination, and high-throughput sequencing.
JoVE - Journal of Visualized Experiments [1940-087X]
A PubMed-indexed video journal. Peer-reviewed scientific video protocols to accelerate biological, medical, chemical and physical research. Tulane subscribes to the following sections: General, Neuroscience, Immunology and Infection, Clinical and Translational Medicine, Bioengineering, plus in Science Education - General Laboratory Techniques and Basic Methods in Cellular and Molecular Biology.
Methods in Molecular Biology
Book series from Humana Press presents laboratory methods and protocols in biomedical sciences, molecular biology, and biochemistry.
Protocol Exchange
From Nature Protocols. An open resource where the community of scientists pool their experimental know-how to help accelerate research.
