BT 211 - Immunoassay Analysis Laboratory

Credit Hours: 1

Immunoassay methods involve rapid and sensitive detection of pathogens, contaminants, and constituents essential to pharmaceuticals, forensic toxicology, agrochemicals, food technology and environmental monitoring. This laboratory course will be taken as a co-requisite to BT 210. Students will perform immunoassay analytical procedures, including spectrophotometry, chromatography, electrophoresis, ELISA and enzymology.

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

perform immunoassay procedures;
develop a hypothesis, record observations and compile laboratory data;
demonstrate proficiency in performing quality control and troubleshooting procedures; and
evaluate results to determine when results are valid and accurate; if deviations occur, able to perform appropriate corrective action procedures.
