Good morning! This week we will define key terms and explore another JoVE article that will help you prepare for the group project.
We want to put together diverse groups so that we can learn from each other and see things from new perspectives. Please complete this short teamwork survey (3-5 min) by Wednesday.
This week we will explore several of the themes you mentioned in your posts! Enjoy! Please let us know if you have any questions!
Overview
How can we automate an assay for speed and reproducibility? In this quest, we will define microfluidics, screening center, liquid handler, and virtual screening. We will compare and contrast the use of a liquid handler and manual pipetting in several situations. Our focus will be on the technology and software used to automate and analyze results from high-throughput approaches. This module ends with the second JoVE scenario we will analyze in the forum that is directly related to your group projects.
Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to:
- Define the following terms: microfluidics, screening center, liquid handler, virtual screening. (CO 1)
- List the advantages and disadvantages of using a liquid handler (i.e., robot), and determine when its use is appropriate. (CO 5)
- State the steps at which software is used, and list appropriate examples. (CO 2)
To complete this module, you will need to:
- Watch Module 3 video.
- Respond to TopHat questions for Module 3
- Participate in Forum 3 for JoVE 2 article.
