Biochemical Assays are analytical procedures used in laboratory medicine, pharmacology, and molecular biology to assess or measure the presence, amount, or activity of specific substances in biological samples. Coursera's Biochemical Assays catalogue teaches you the fundamental principles and techniques used in these investigative procedures, including sample preparation, analyte detection, and data interpretation. You'll learn to perform various types of assays such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, spectrophotometric assays, and chromatography techniques, as well as understand the applications of these methods in research and clinical settings. Mastering Biochemical Assays empowers you to contribute to medical diagnostics, drug discovery, environmental monitoring, and scientific research, enhancing your career prospects in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare industries.
