Resource Description:
The Lab Manual for IVC’s BIOT 173 provides students with a comprehensive, hands-on guide to the foundations of biotechnology across 14 chapters. Beginning with core concepts such as the scientific method, lab safety, and maintaining a lab notebook, the manual progresses through essential skills like measurements, unit conversions, significant figures, micropipetting, dilutions, and spectrophotometry. Students also gain experience with enzymes, pH buffers, and advanced solution preparation, all while building practical laboratory techniques that culminate in a final practicum. A complete materials list is included to support successful lab work and reinforce real-world applications of biotechnology.
