The purpose of mastering the discipline "Modern methods and devices of laboratory research" is to master the methods of molecular genetic analysis in animal husbandry using polymerase chain reaction.

Tasks of the discipline:

- formation of students' skills and abilities to conduct laboratory research using modern equipment and technologies;

- formation of scientific culture in the planning of experimental laboratory work, development of the main stages of research and design of scientific products.

As a result of studying the discipline, the student must know: theoretical basis of PCR research methods; the use of PCR methods in predicting the productive qualities of farm animals; use of PCR methods for examination of feed for farm animals; use of PCR methods for examination of feed, for detection of infectious and invasive diseases of animals; work with basic equipment of PCR laboratories; prepare biological material for DNA isolation; isolate DNA from biological material; prepare and perform PCR; assess the quality (visualize) PCR; plan work in the PCR laboratory.
