Course objectives
The course is complementary to the course EMBC0422p. The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basic methodological principles and procedures used in determining the concentration of analytes and enzyme activity in body fluids and methods of interpretation of laboratory results.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- follow the principles of working with biological material
- be familiar with basic laboratory tasks
- explain methods of obtaining biological material for biochemical analyzes
- describe the basic methodological principles and procedures used in determining the concentration of analytes and enzyme activity in body fluids
- interpret the results of biochemical analyzes, discuss the significance of the findings
