Cell Fractionation: Introduction of Research Techniques intothe Biology Curriculum

Trinity大学为本科生提供了很多机会 参与教师的研究项目。他们是 鼓励学生利用这些机会， 通过修改实验室练习来学习研究， 将增加学生对现代研究的熟悉程度 工具和技术。他们正在购买高速 用于细胞分级分离程序的离心和超离心， 两台紫外可见光谱仪和一台扫描荧光光谱仪 用于馏分分析。这些仪器被用来升级 细胞和分子生物学实验室课程，包括 大二水平的细胞和分子课程，以及高级课程， 发育生物学、内分泌学和植物生理学。的 离心机被用于细胞分离实验， 竞争性结合测定，例如免疫测定。紫外-可见 蛋白质速率计用于标记酶测定、蛋白质 DNA测量荧光分光光度计用于 向学生介绍最近开发的技术， 荧光探针将这些程序纳入《公约》， 课程设置要提高学生的进入能力 研究生课程和生物研究的职业生涯。的 大学将提供与该奖项相等的金额。

Trinity University provides many opportunities for undergraduates to become involved with faculty research projects. They are encouraging students to take advantage of these opportunities to learn research by modifying laboratory exercises in a manner that will increase the students' familiarity with modern research instruments and techniques. They are purchasing a high speed centrifuge and ultracentrifuge for cell fractionation procedures, and two UV-vis spectrophotometers and a scanning spectrofluorimeter for fraction analysis. These instruments are being used to upgrade laboratory courses in cellular and molecular biology, including a sophomore level cell and molecular course, and advanced courses in developmemtal biology, endocrinology and plant physiology. The centrifuges are being used for cell fractionation experiments and competitive binding assays such as immunoassay. The UV-vis spectrophotometers are being used for marker enzyme assays, protein and DNA measurement. The spectrofluorimeter is being used to introduce students to recently developed techniques using targeted fluorescence probes. The incorporation of such procedures into the curriculum should enhance the students' competence to enter graduate programs and careers in biological research. The university is contributing an amount equal to the award.
