Instrumentation for a Contemporary Biochemistry Laboratory

为了吸引更多的学生进入科学领域，生物系和化学系共同努力开设了现代高级生物化学实验室课程，为本科生研究提供了这些科学的动态视图和机会。 购买离心机、电泳设备和聚合酶链式反应温度循环仪，使实验室练习能够专注于具有复杂应用但又很容易在高级本科生能力范围内的当代项目和技术。 该设备还用于其他实验室和独立学生研究。

To attract more students into the sciences the Biology and Chemistry Departments united their efforts to institute a modern advanced biochemistry laboratory course that provides a dynamic view of these sciences and opportunities for undergraduate research. The acquisition of centrifuges, electrophoresis equipment, and a polymerase chain reaction temperature cycler allows laboratory exercises to focus on contemporary projects and techniques that have sophisticated applications, yet are easily within the capabilities of an advanced undergraduate. The equipment is also used for other laboratories and for independent student research.
