Learning outcomes

After passing the course the student will understand techniques and applications of modern bioanalysis used in molecular and microbial. He/she will learn theory and operation of modern bio-analytical instruments and structure and function of macromolecules.

Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. Outlines of bioanalysis theories  Theories of bioanalysis   
2. Basic operation of bioanalytical instruments  Complementary knowledge of operation of bioanalytical instruments   
3. Isolation and characterization of nucleic acids, proteins and lipids by analytical tools      
4. Amplification and analysis of structural and functional genes, proteins and biocatalysis, lipids and membrane functions     

Evaluation criteria for the course

The grade will be determined on the basis of an exam, accepted laboratory exercises, written and oral reporting. To pass the course with a grade 1 the student will have to score at least 50 % of the maximum points. A good understanding the core content will suffice to a grade 3. In order to earn a grade 4 or 5 the student will have to have a good or excellent understanding of complementary knowledge.

Assessment scale:

Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course
