Course detail
Laboratory Classes in Special Toxicology
FCH-MCO_SPT_PAcad. year: 2022/2023
Practical course of special toxicology to increased knowledge of special toxicology and will allow connection of theoretical and practical knowledge. Students will gain an overview of selected experimental methods used in toxicology, preparation of abiotic and biotic matrices for the determination of selected toxic compounds. Students will be introduced to a screening technique TLS (1D, 2D), methodology and evaluation of toxicity tests (test viability, cytotoxicity test). The analysis and evaluation of case studies from toxicology are included of practicum of special toxicology.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will control the preparation of abiotic and biotic matrices for determination of selected toxic compounds.
Students will know a screening technique TLC (1D, 2D).
Students will know the methodology and principles of evaluation of toxicity tests (Test with neutral red - test viability, MTT test - cytotoxicity tests, trypan blue exclusion test - a test of viability and cytotoxicity).
Students will be able to develop their ability to analyze the acquired knowledge and to formulate objective conclusions on the basis of their assessment.
