BTEC 65NUCLEIC ACIDS ELECTROPHORETIC SYSTEMS: BASIC LABORATORY TECHNIQUE1 Unit
Understanding, using, and performing electrophoretic separations and transfers in a research or industrial setting. This is to include the molecular and physical basis of specific techniques, and their practical applications. Techniques covered will include gel electrophoresis, capillary electrophoresis and electrotransfers. The applications of these techniques for proteins, and small molecules, within research and industry will be presented. The instrumentation used for electrophoresis, capillary electrophoresis, and pulsed gel electrophoresis and practical experience with reagents and instrumentation will be emphasized. Students will follow established protocols, and demonstrate an understanding of supporting routine operations and standard protocols.
