5671. Advanced Theory and Practice of Laboratory Techniques in Microbiology
1.00 credits | May be repeated for a total of 10 credits.
Prerequisites: None.
Grading Basis: Graded
Advanced training in microbiology related technologies such as next-generation sequencing and other "omic" techniques including experimental design, sample preparation, library preparation, quality control, analysis of large data sets and processing of large number of samples will be covered. The course is taught as a series of modules with each focused on a different technique. With change of content, may be repeated for credit.

TLS 417 | 7/8 | Offered through the PSM Microbial Systems Analysis program. Please contact Christine Ricci chr06004@uconn.edu for permission number. In this module, participants will learn foundational and advanced liquid-handling skills. Liquid-handling, manual and automated, is absolutely necessary for success in any molecular biology laboratory profession yet is rarely taught systematically. Liquid-handling machines of various types have been widely adopted across both industry and academic/government labs for their highly standardized, high-throughput capabilities. Module participants will quantitatively assess their manual pipetting skills and then compare these against the pipetting abilities of robotic liquid handling machines, mainly Eppendorf’s EPmotion 5073. Participants will gain basic competency in EPmotion equipment handling and programming, in addition to learning more intricate programming to tackle difficult liquid types or custom sample processing needs. Besides automating monotonous tasks such as dilutions and aliquots, students will learn how liquid handling machines can be used to automate DNA extractions, NGS pipelines, screening assays, gel electrophoresis, and more. |
