BT 211 - Biotechnological Techniques 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, and electrophoresis.

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
determine when results are valid and accurate. If deviations occur, be able to perform appropriate corrective action procedures.
