Ultracentrifuge and Electrophoresis Equipment for Undergraduate Instruction in Genetics, Molecular Biology, and Biochemistry

黎巴嫩山谷学院将加强其生物化学和生物学的主要学位课程，在现有的遗传学课程中加入一项新的实验，以演示超速离心法的原理及其在DNA纯化中的应用；引入一门新的分子生物学高级课程；并在现有的生物化学实验室课程中实施一系列新的以项目为导向的实验。为了执行这一计划，黎巴嫩山谷学院将购买一个准备好的超速离心机、DNA电泳仪、一个微型离心机和一个生物安全罩。分子遗传学在基础和应用生化研究中的重要性日益增加，因此有必要将分子遗传学的概念和方法引入课程。

Lebanon Valley College will strengthen its major degree programs in biochemistry and biology by incorporating a new experiment into an existing genetics course to demonstrate the principles of ultracentrifugation and its application to DNA purification; introducing a new advanced course in molecular biology; and implementing a new project-oriented sequence of experiments in an existing biochemistry laboratory course. In order to carry out this plan, Lebanon Valley College will acquire a Preparative Ultracentrifuge, Equipment for DNA Electrophoresis, a Microcentrifuge, and a Biological Safety Hood. The increasing importance of molecular genetics in both basic and applied biochemical research makes the introduction of its concepts and methodologies into the curriculum necessary.
