Course Objectives
•This course is introduced to bridge the gap between academics, research and industry. This course begins with a review of basic bio analytical technique and an introduction to general terminologies.
•This course contains bio analytical techniques along with their theory, working principal, common instrumentation and possible applications. This course will be equally beneficial to various scientific areas.
•Students will be exposed to various biological techniques and their applications in identification, isolation of different biological molecules.
Learning Outcomes
• Students will know the principle and application of various instruments.
• Students will be able to make a strategy on molecular techniques for the improvement in any trait or its well being based on the techniques learned during this course.
• This course can use the knowledge for designing a project for research and execute it.
