Using a High-Speed Centrifuge for Subcellular Fractionation in a Cell Physiology Course

细胞生理学课程正在升级，通过获得增加的离心机能力。离心机也被用来改进遗传学和生物化学课程。Sorvall超速离心机和学院现有IEC离心机的附加转子使细胞生理学实验室的学生能够进行需要细胞组分的实验，更有效地完成以前做得不好的实验，并更有效地利用实验室的时间。需要高速离心机的新实验室项目正在引入。这些实验包括线粒体的分离、线粒体酶的研究和线粒体后部分酶的分析。学院将提供等额的奖金。

The Cell Physiology course is being upgraded through the acquisition of increased centrifuge capability. The centrifuge is also being used to improve the Genetics and Biochemistry courses. A Sorvall Superspeed centrifuge and an additional rotor for the college's current IEC centrifuge are enabling students in the Cell Physiology laboratory to perform experiments requiring cell fractions, to perform more effectively experiments which used to be done poorly, and to be more efficient in the use of time in the laboratory. New laboratory projects are being introduced requiring the high speed centrifuge. These included experiments involving separation of mitochondria, study of mitrochondrial enzymes, and analysis of enzymes in the post- mitochondrial fraction. The college will contribute an amount equal to the award.
