Food and Agricultural Science

Microbes and Health Kit
Teach students about bacterial metabolism, cellular chemistry, and the role of bacteria in disease and food microbiology. Follow Koch's postulates by isolating bacteria from yogurt.

Biofuel Enzyme Kit
Explore enzyme kinetics and function through the real-world application of cellulosic ethanol production. Calculate the conversion rate of a model biofuel substrate by cellobiase.

Got Protein?™ Kit
Introduce students to proteomics and provide the tools for them to develop their own protein-based experiments based on Bio-Rad's Quick Start™ Bradford protein assay.

ELISA Immuno Explorer™ Kit
Explore applied immunology by guiding students in the detection of an antibody or antigen in a sample using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

IDEA Electrophoresis Kit
Teach the skills required for agarose gel electrophoresis using food dye to illustrate how molecules move through a molecular sieve in an exercise with real-world relevance.

STEM Electrophoresis Kit
Build a horizontal gel electrophoresis chamber and show how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are integrated in developing tools to solve problems.

Fish DNA Barcoding Kit
Combine PCR and DNA sequencing techniques to teach your students how to genetically identify different fish species.

GMO Investigator™ Kit
Use PCR and DNA electrophoresis to test for the presence of two different GMO-associated DNA sequences commonly used in transgenic plants.

GMO Investigator™ Real-Time PCR Starter Kit
Illustrate the principles of real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and its use in testing foods for the presence of genetic modifications.

Cloning and Sequencing Explorer Series — All Eight Modules
Clone and analyze a real gene with the Cloning and Sequencing Explorer series, a 6–8 week sequence of laboratory activities ranging from DNA extraction to bioinformatics analysis.
