Instrumentation to Improve Undergraduate Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, and Cellular Biology Laboratories

这个项目在圣约翰大学和圣本尼迪克特学院的本科生物和化学课程中加入了一个超离心机。正在购买一个垂直和摆动桶的超离心机，以说明离心分离的原理，以及蛋白质、DNA和RNA的分离或纯化。参加各种课程的学生，包括分子生物学、生物化学和细胞生物学，以及参与个人研究项目的学生，都获得了使用超离心机的第一手知识。这所大学将提供相当于奖金的金额。

This project incorporates an ultracentrifuge into the undergraduate Biology and Chemistry programs at Saint John's University and the College of Saint Benedict. An ultracentrifuge with vertical and swinging buckets is being purchased to illustrate the principles of separation by centrifugation, as well as the isolation or purification of proteins, DNA's and RNA's. Students in a variety of courses, including Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, and Cell Biology, as well as students involved in individual research projects, are gaining firsthand knowledge of the uses of the ultracentrifuge. The university will contribute an amount equal to the award.
