Improvements in an Undergraduate Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory

这个项目的主要目标是更新分子生物学领域的实验教学。新设备提供了现代研究实验室中常用的分离和鉴定蛋白质和核酸的技术的经验。电泳法、等电聚焦法、层析法和分光光度法等技术与基因工程和生物医学研究等当前富有成效的领域有关。通过这种方式，学生们享受着大大增加的接触技术的机会，这些技术为他们在科学前沿的工作做好了准备。

The primary objective of this project is to update laboratory instruction in the field of molecular biology. The new equipment provides experience with technologies commonly employed in a modern research laboratory for the isolation and characterization of proteins and nucleic acids. Techniques such as electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, chromatography and spectrophotometry are associated with such currently productive fields as genetic engineering and biomedical research. In this way, students are enjoying a greatly increased exposure to techniques which prepare them for work at the forefront of science.
