This well-organized lab manual is housed in LibreTexts and each of the 21 labs begins by listing goals and student learning outcomes. Each lab contains useful images and highlights important equations and examples. The laboratory topics include basic lab skills and topics such as safety, metrics & measurements, pipetting, microscopy, spectrophotometry, making buffers and measuring pH, DNA …

The protocols and instructor guide included in this lab manual are part of a semester-long Synthetic Biology undergraduate research course (CURE) designed by the authors. The lab presented in this manual is designed for a Genetics or Biotechnology class and has been used at both two-year and four-year institutions. Students are tasked with designing and …
This WikiBooks textbook provides an outline of some of the major topics in biotechnology including the various fields of biotechnology, an introduction to the Code of Federal Regulations, laboratory notebooks and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’S), upstream and downstream process development, and laboratory skills for a biotechnology technician. This textbook primarily consists of bulleted outlines rather …
Contains many common laboratory experiments for a Microbiology course. The brevity of the lab manual makes it more applicable to a 1 lab/week course. Some BSL-2 generating protocols are also employed, namely the culturing of environmental samples.
A text replacement that is applicable mainly to non-major’s or allied health microbiology. Two remixed versions, Allied Health Microbiology and Microbiology for Allied Health Students, is also available.
Canvas ancillaries (CC BY) A Human Biology textbook that incorporates equity and inclusion into its content. Canvas ancillaries are available for instructors. This contains pages, quizzes, assignments, and other online learning resources for ease of adoption in an online setting.
A detailed lab-manual that includes 13 laboratory experiments. Each exercise is bookmarked by a pre-lab and post-lab, making it an easily used resource regardless of the adopter’s teaching practices. Laboratory preparation instructions do not appear to be available, so preparation time may be increased.
The non-major’s equivalent to OpenStax’s Biology 2nd edition. An easy-to-use textbook that is similar to mainstream publisher efforts. Of note is a comprehensive “instructor resources” section that contains helpful tools for adopting the text (e.g., syllabus language, lecture slides, etc.).
While intended for a 3 quarter (2 semester) major’s biology sequence, this text focuses much more heavily on cellular and molecular biology. In turn, it makes for a good text for BIOL 190. The inclusion of some chapters on evolution ensure that the text meets the C-ID descriptor’s content requirements.
