Class Laboratory Techniques in Biochemistry

The CU of Laboratory Techniques in Biochemistry has as main objective that students become familiar with the most used and ubiquitous laboratory techniques in Biochemistry. Correct posture in the lab.,good safety practices and basic notions of data analysis and are pursued. Different techniques such asUV-visible absorption spectroscopy, protein quantification methods, chromatography, centrifugation andelectrophoretic techniques. At the end of the course, students should master these basic techniques atthe experimental level, which will be used in many courses in the area of of biochemistry and chemistry during their degree. Students should be able to prepare solutions (buffers), distinguish precision from accuracy and use quantitative methods. Have a clear notion of detection limits and associated error, aswell as the precautions needed when handling different instruments (centrifuges,  electrophoresis andspectrophotometers).
