Dear entrant, we are glad to welcome you to the page of the Department of Food Safety and Biotechnology of the A.Baitursynov KRU!
6B05102-Biotechnology
Biotechnology is a fairly new discipline and has not yet been fully studied. It is much more interesting than ordinary biology, because in the process of studying and working, specialists develop completely new substances, products, and medicines.
A biotechnologist is engaged in the production of products and materials necessary for humans using biological objects, DNA technologies and biological processes
Professional skills of a biotechnologist:
- Ownership of laboratory equipment.
- Sampling.
- Conducting analyses and laboratory tests.
- Analysis of microbiological indicators.
- Conducting research by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and Real-time.
- Study and research of gene functions and creation of DNA markers.
- Work with DNA cells, bacteriophages.
- Molecular biological cloning.
- Cultivation of microorganisms.

Who is a technologist and what does he do?
- The concept of technology entered the production terminology from the ancient Greek language. Initially, it referred to crafts. The one who knew how to create something with his hands owned the technology. Now "technology" is understood as the principle of production. The technologist is responsible for the stages and sequence of production of the finished product.
Who is suitable for the profession of a technologist?
- first of all, a technologist should have well-developed logical thinking. It helps to effectively build all production processes.
- neatness and attentiveness are indispensable. They contribute to the rapid detection of malfunctions and inaccuracies.
- given the vastness and rigor of technological processes, specialists should have a good memory. Basic knowledge about working with equipment and its device will also be useful.
What tasks does the technologist perform?
- The technologist is responsible for what needs to be done and in what sequence to get a ready-made quality product. The presence of a competent technologist in the staff of a manufacturing enterprise makes it competitive in the market.
What do people in the profession of food technologist do?
- selection of equipment for the enterprise;
- maintenance of technical documentation (drawings of finished products, product manufacturing schemes, production calculations, etc.);
- product quality control;
- troubleshooting that caused the manufacture of defective products;
- introduction of new technologies into the production process that can make the product competitive (improvement and cheapening of production technologies), etc.;
- testing of a new product and the launch of serial production.
Advantages of the technologist's work
- the relevance of the profession;
- high salary (as the length of service is developed);
- creative self-realization (the ability to invent, fantasize, introduce new things).
Groups of educational programs - В076 Standardization, certification and metrology (by industries)
For admission on the basis of 11 classes:
- Profile subjects of the UNT: Physics and Mathematics
- Passing score: 60
For admission on the basis of TaVE:
- Profile subjects: Physics and Standardization
- Passing score: 25
What is standardization and certification?
- Standardization and certification is a whole science that studies, analyzes, generalizes and formulates patterns of production processes in order to achieve their optimal degree of order. In practical terms, it consists in the development and application of regulatory, technical and methodological documents based on the State Standardization System. The use of various forms and methods of standardization and certification contributes to the development of the national economy, improving production efficiency and product quality, and increasing the standard of living of the population.
Who is suitable for the profession of a standardization engineer?
- first of all, a standardization engineer should have well-developed logical thinking. It helps to effectively build all production processes.
- neatness and attentiveness are indispensable. They contribute to the rapid detection of malfunctions and inaccuracies.
- given the vastness and rigor of technological processes, specialists should have a good memory. Basic knowledge about working with equipment and its device will also be useful.
What tasks does a standardization engineer perform?
- A standardization engineer develops design and technical documentation, draws up a project to create new or improve existing methods of quality management, metrological support and standardization, designs technical specifications of standards, techniques, instructions.
What do people of the profession do standardization and certification in food production?
- planning and organization of standardization and certification activities;
- regular inspection of the standards and technical conditions used in production;
- constant monitoring of compliance with the rules and requirements for products established in the organization;
- assessment of the level of marriage, taking measures to eliminate and prevent it;
- organization of control over the evaluation of the quality of finished products;
- preparation of applications and technical specifications for certification and development of standards;
- preparation of plans for the introduction of new measuring equipment;
- certification and metrological control of measuring instruments;
- introduction of modern measurement methods.
Advantages of work standardization and certification
- a diploma in this specialty gives you the opportunity to work in any industry, scientific field — almost everywhere where there is measuring equipment.
- the specialty is very much in demand in international companies.
- high wages
Where is there an opportunity to work with this profession?
