Course objectives
At the end of the course students should have the basic knowledges from separation methods in biochemistry or molecular biology. Contents of the first part include the basic manipulation with biological samples - extraction, clarification, precipitation, ultrafiltration and lyophilisation. Second part is oriented onto chromatography methods. Last part is dedicated in electromigration methods.
