Objectives (course unit)

The student
- is able to apply the skills obtained from the study modules of Molecular Biology and Genetics as well as Cell Culture Methods and Clean Room Work when working in the laboratory of molecular genetics
- acquires basic skills for working in a molecular biology laboratory by working in a clean room, practicing pipetting of small volumes, working at different workstations in the molecular biology laboratory and by evaluating the reliability of the results
- becomes familiar with automation in molecular biology
- is able to evaluate the reliability and quality of molecular biological tests

Content (course unit)

For example, detection of Chlamydia, Cytomegalovirus and Herpes viruses
Automation in molecular biology
Evaluation of test results

Prerequisites (course unit)

The study modules of Molecular Biology and Genetics 7B00EG32 and Cell Culture Methods and Clean Room Work 7B00EG33 must be completed before starting the practical training.
