BT 241 - Laboratory for Production of BioPharmaceutical Products

Credit Hours: 1

This course will apply the theory from the co-requisite lecture course, BT 240, Production of BioPharmaceutical Products. In this course, analytical procedures used in the characterization and separation of proteins will be covered. As a final project, the student will be required to create a laboratory manual using these methods and perform analysis. Methods will include filtration, protein titration, electrophoresis, spectrophotometry, PCR and ELISA testing.

Course Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

perform laboratory analyses to identify and characterize proteins in biotechnology;
demonstrate proficiency in aseptic processing for cell culture in biotechnology;
demonstrate proficiency in performing analyses used in protein purification; and
establish proficiency in the ability to analyze data obtained from laboratory analysis for validity and troubleshoot and perform corrective measures where applicable to a technician level.
