team members, and will have an opportunity to do
many of the following:
- Learn how antibodies are used as reagents
an new biochemical devices
- Prepare buffers used for antibody
purification
- Use pressure chromatography to purify a
antibodies
- UV or colorimetric assays to determine
protein or DNA concentration
- Analytical assays such as SDS PAGE and
western blots
Careful record-keeping (lab notebook) will be
required. Working knowledge of algebra (solving
for x, working with ratios) is essential. Days
and times are flexible, but prefer a schedule of
4-hour blocks.
