Edvotek® Follow That Flush: Using Biotechnology To Stop Outbreaks
Is this water safe to drink?
- Simulate real-world disease surveillance Use biotech tools to identify pathogens in simulated water samples. How wastewater testing gives early warnings of outbreaks and informs public health responses Available with SYBR™ Safe or FlashBlue™ stains
In this experiment, students use electrophoresis to test simulated water samples for bacteria and viruses. By learning how wastewater monitoring works, students see how biotechnology helps protect public health.
: You need: DNA Electrophoresis apparatus, micropipettes: 5 - 50 µl (optional), blue light transilluminator, and microwave or hot plate.
: Includes instructions, Ready-to-Load QuickStrip DNA samples, UltraSpec-Agarose, Electrophoresis buffer (50×), practice gel loading solution, SYBR™ Safe or FlashBlue™ DNA stain.
