Overview
A complete line of inquiry-based DNA science kits and curricula designed to help teachers introduce students to the exciting world of molecular biology. These educational DNA analysis kits utilize hands-on techniques to explore DNA structure and function, cell structure, restriction digestion, and agarose gel electrophoresis.
Category Products
- ImageVirus Detection and Transmission Kit
With this lab activity, your students become virus detectives as they use gel electrophoresis and preamplified PCR samples to determine how a virus spread in a restaurant.
- ImageScience of Opioid Dependence Kit
Have your students explore the environmental and genetic links to opioid dependence as they design a human genetic research study.
- ImageGenes in a Bottle Kit
In this activity, your students employ the same real-world laboratory procedure used to extract DNA from many different organisms for a variety of biotechnology research applications. This DNA kit allows students to extract genomic DN
- ImageAnalysis of Precut Lambda DNA Kit
This activity aids teachers in providing in-depth explanations of how restriction enzymes cut DNA and how electrophoresis can be used to separate and visualize
DNA fragments. - ImageRestriction Digestion and Analysis of Lambda DNA Kit
This DNA analysis kit demonstrates the procedures and principles of DNA restriction digestion. Digestion of phage lambda DNA is followed by agarose gel electrophoresis. Students get hands-on experience with gel casting, sample loading
- ImageForensic DNA Fingerprinting Kit
Illustrate the principles of forensic DNA testing. Using real DNA as evidence, your students play the role of crime scene investigators to find out "Who done it".
- ImageSTEM Electrophoresis Kit
Build a horizontal gel electrophoresis chamber and integrate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to showcase how these disciplines are combined to develop tools to solve problems.
- ImageIDEA Kit — Inquiry Dye Electrophoresis ActivityIntroduce the skills required for agarose gel electrophoresis through an exercise with real-world relevance to the foods you eat. This kit uses food dyes to illustrate how visible molecules move through a molecular sieve.
