Updates from the Lab! 🔬

[1] Our science students have been putting their practical skills into action in the lab, with our Level 6 Biomedical & Pharmaceutical Science students enhancing their dissertation research using our newly acquired microplate reader and incubator shaker 🧑‍🔬

[2] Our Level 6 Biomedical & Pharmaceutical Science students also demonstrated impeccable attention to detail during PCR amplification. Their gel electrophoresis results were so clean and well-defined, they looked like DNA art! 🎨🧬

[3] Our BioSciences Master's students successfully tackled RNA purification. Using the DeNovix NanoDrop spectrophotometer, they verified top-tier sample purity, setting them up for successful downstream gene expression analysis 🧫

Congratulations to all our students for their hard work, professionalism and impressive laboratory achievements 👏
