Title: Isolate DNA.
Course: Biomedical Technician (14900) > Section: Performing Molecular Biology Techniques

Isolation should include extracting DNA from a cell or tissue sample by separating the DNA from the rest of the organic material so that the isolated DNA can be viewed with a microscope. The isolation procedures will depend on the type of organic material from which the DNA is being extracted.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the basic steps of DNA isolation? What equipment and materials may be used to isolate DNA?
- How might the process of DNA isolation differ depending on the type of organic matter upon which it is performed?
