CHEM 272 - Bioanalytical Laboratory

Develop and practice analytical laboratory techniques used in advanced chemistry and biochemistry. Experiments will include statistics and error analysis, UV/vis spectroscopy, protein/DNA quantitation, chemical and biochemical kinetics, equilibrium, acids/bases/buffers, and oxidation/reduction. The course will also focus on computerized data processing techniques, data interpretation and critical analysis, technical writing, and formal presentations. PRE- or COREQUISITE(S): A grade of C or better in CHEM 204 or consent of department. Four hours laboratory each week.

1 semester hour

Course Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to:

Identify and apply appropriate laboratory techniques to solve advanced chemical and biochemical problems.
Use analytical instrumentation to identify, characterize, quantitate, and analyze organic and biochemical samples.
Use appropriate computer programs and statistical methods to analyze and interpret experimental data.
