Green Fluorescent Protein Chromatography Kit

Green Fluorescent Protein Chromatography Kit

Biotechnology impacts our lives in ways that we may not consider, such as biodegradable bottles or the bioremediation of contaminated waste and sites. As biotech becomes a greater part of our daily lives, today’s students need to understand the underpinnings of biotechnology to become knowledgeable citizens and function effectively in their careers and lives. The growth of the biotech industry has created a rapidly growing need for employees with practical biotech knowledge and skills. Bio-Rad has developed a range of kits, curricula, tutorials, webinars, and other teaching materials to address this need.
