Job Outlook. Employment of radiologic and MRI technologists is projected to grow 9 percent from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations. As the population grows older, there will be an increase in medical conditions that require imaging as a tool for making diagnoses.
Activity 1 - DNA Extraction. We will extract DNA from fruit to investigate how it looks and feels. This procedure is similar to what scientists have to do before they can use the information contained in this DNA.This information can be used to improve crops so that they are more resistant to disease, insect invasion or changes in climate. Filter the fruit mixture through the cheese cloth. 2  Combine solutions from all student groups at this point. 3  Let the solution drain 5 minutes. 4  Using the large transfer pipettes, aliquot approximately 2 ml of the kiwi/strawberry fruit solution into a test tube, one for each pair of students.
Phenol /chloroform extraction is an easy way to remove proteins from your nucleic acid samples and can be carried out in a manner that is very close to quantitative.t is typically easiest to carry the extraction out in 1.7â2 mL eppendorf tubes. 1  Dilute your nucleic acid sample to 100â700 ÂµL or divide your samples into tubes such that you have no more than 700 ÂµL per tube. 2  It is difficult to do the extraction with volumes smaller than 100 ÂµL.
