Course 26125 Chromatographic Purification of Proteins

Welcome to the DTU Chemistry course Experimental Chromatographic Purification of Recombinant Proteins - 26125. 

You will be working in pairs. Each day you will spend half a day in the lab and half a day studying the theoretical concepts, preparing for the experimental exercises, and evaluating your results. The course schedule is as follows.

Active participation in all exercises is required (in other words attendance every day from 8.00 am to 5 pm is compulsory) in order to attend the final oral exam.
