Equipment to Upgrade the Undergraduate Biology Curriculum, with Emphasis on Microbiology.

该项目的目的是给微生物学，医疗技术， 医学预科学生更多的“动手”经验，在本科 实验室，特别是使用各种现代化的设备， 制药、食品和医疗行业以及研究生 学校 新的微生物测定仪正在普通微生物学 寄生虫学中构建细菌生长曲线的课程 当然，进行酶动力学实验，并在免疫学， 进行蛋白质浓度测定。 层流 倒置显微镜，二氧化碳培养箱和新的离心机正在 用于免疫学课程管理骨髓瘤细胞。 微型和 水平电泳系统，透照器，振摇 培养箱和微量离心机用于构建 细胞/分子生物学课程中的质粒。 Biostat 发酵罐用于工业微生物学课程， 工业上感兴趣的各种微生物的连续培养。 通过该项目提供的设备，学生们正在学习 使用电泳、DNA重组、酶动力学和ELISA 技术，并掌握组织培养的原理和 骨髓瘤细胞的重要性

The aim of the project is to give Microbiology, Medical Technology, and Pre-Medical students more "hands on" experience in the undergraduate laboratories, particularly using the kinds of modern equipment adopted by the pharmaceutical, food and medical industries, and by graduate schools. The new spectrophotometers are being used in the General Microbiology course to construct growth curves of bacteria, in the Parasitology course to perform experiments on enzyme kinetics, and in Immunology to carry out protein concentration determinations. Laminar flows, the inverted microscope, the CO2 incubator and the new centrifuge are being used in Immunology courses to manage Myeloma cells. The miniature and horizontal electrophoresis systems, the transilluminator, shaking incubator and microcentrifuge are used to construct physical maps of plasmids in the Cellular/Molecular Biology course. The Biostat fermenter is used in the Industrial Microbiology course for the continuous culture of various microorganisms of industrial interest. With the equipment provided through this project, students are learning to use electrophoresis, DNA recombination, enzyme kinetics, and ELISA techniques, and are mastering principles of tissue culture and the importance of Myeloma cells.
