MT 530 Bioseparation Techniques, 2 cr.

Lectures are presented to introduce the biochemistry of selected laboratory experiments designed to provide the student experience with common analytical techniques associated with the isolation, quantification and characterization of biomolecules with an emphasis on instrumentation.  Multiple bioseparation techniques including thin layer, classical column, high performance liquid and gas chromatography as well as electrophoretic separations are practiced.  Automated and semi-automated chemistry systems are also employed.
