PCR Learning Activities
Select from an extensive catalogue of educational tools available for enhancing the teaching of biological subjects, including simulated testing of blood and urine, the illustration of various natural habitats, and the dissection of sterilized stool samples collected from different regions. By engaging with these educational materials, students learn about animals, the environment, interactions between different animals, growth patterns of cellular organisms, and much more. Safe and economical, these convenient kits are designed to provide you with all of the materials necessary for proper biology education.
PCR Based Identification of Foodstuffs for Genetically Modified Organisms
For AP Biology Classes

Determination of Protein Molecular Weight Kit
Subunit molecular weights are determined by analysis using denaturing SDS vertical polyacrylamide electrophoresis (PAGE) and the included prestained, ready to load lyophilized proteins. Prestained proteins with unknown molecular weights are assigned molecular weights based on the relative mobility of prestained standard protein markers.
