A New Ultracentrifuge to Upgrade Undergraduate Studies in Cellular and Molecular Biology

为了帮助生物系更充分地发展细胞和分子生物学实验室，国家科学基金会正在提供资金，以增加一个三转子的超离心机。当今生物学的一个主要趋势是对这两个领域的生物现象的理解。该设备使学生在细胞生物学课程进行复杂的实验处理细胞器和DNA的分离。通过密歇根州和社区两家主要工业公司的共同努力，在实验室已经可用的设备上增加了一台超离心机，使分子生物学课程的学生能够完成基因工程领域涉及的所有关键技术。

To assist the Department of Biology to more fully develop laboratories in Cellular and Molecular Biology, NSF is providing funds for the addition of an ultracentrifuge with three rotors. A major trend in biology today is the understanding of biological phenomena in these two areas. This equipment enables students in the Cell Biology course to perform sophisticated experiments dealing with the isolation of cellular organelles and DNA. The addition of an ultracentrifuge to the equipment already available in the laboratories through the combined efforts of the State of Michigan and two major industrial firms in the community allows students in the Molecular Biology course to do all of the critical techniques involved in the area of genetic engineering.
