In an attempt to determine the presence of the sickle-cell anemia trait, students will use agarose electrophoresis to separate several simulated hemoglobin protein samples. They will learn to identify and differentiate between normal hemoglobin and sickle-cell hemoglobin. They will also learn to identify those who are heterozygous for the sickle-cell gene. Enough materials to run eight gels are included in the kit, as well as a teacher’s guide and student copymaster. An agarose electrophoresis chamber, power supply, and 10 μL micropipets, required, are available separately. Note: Coupon included for perishable materials. Redeem by mail, fax, phone, or e-mail.
