Key words
Biochemistry, analytical techniques
Objectives
The care for quality in bio-industries asks for quick, efficient and reliable analysis methods. The common used methods are the subject of this course.
Topics
Electrophoresis in agarosis and p.a.a. for characterization and purification of proteins and of nucleic acids.
Immunological reactions, methods and detection procedures.
ATP-measurement, fatty acids, enzymes and toxins as detection subjects for microbial infections and contaminations.
Techniques in DNA-research: hybridisation, blotting and PCR.
Prerequisites
Profound knowledge of biochemistry, enzymology and microbiology.
Final Objectives
General scientific competences:
The student should be able to analyse and solve practical problems by linking them to the course curriculum.
General technical objectives:
He shoud be able to apply different techniques on problems in industrial production systems and in fundamental research.
General competences:
Be able to use general basic knowledge in practical applications.
To be able to present techniques in industrial processes.

Assessment
Oral examination (50%) and written examination test (50%) for the theoretical course.
A weighted average is used to compute the final score for a training item.
However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different
courses (parts of training items) , he proves that his skill for certain
subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical
calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new
marks can be awarded on consensus.
Of course, the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in
the study index card can also be used for 7 or less.
For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one
should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be
insufficient, if the student didn't pass the partim that is considered to be
important for certain subcompetencies.
