FSE Campus Venlo

Lab Skills: Biomolecular Techniques

Full course description

This skills training focuses on developing students' skills in bio molecular laboratory techniques and associated calculations. Through a combination of theory, hands-on experiments, and data analysis, the course aims to prepare students for conducting research in molecular biology.

By completing this course, students gained the theoretical knowledge and basic bio molecular laboratory skills necessary to conduct molecular biology experiments.

Course objectives

At the end of this course students are able to:

Perform calculations required in bio-molecular biology.
Preform proper laboratory skills (use of micro-pipets; balance; photo spectrometer).
Explain, understand and preform a basic bio-molecular experiment.
Explain and understand the theoretical background behind DNA-Isolation, Restriction analysis, photo spectrometry and DNA gel electrophoresis.
Obtain useful data from basic photo spectrometry in various experiments.
Apply and understand DNA gel electrophoresis and restriction analysis.
Understand and perform thin layer chromatography (TLC).
Properly follow the experiments using a laboratory journal.
Report and reflect on the data obtained from a laboratory experiment.
