Investigate Trace Evidence of Enzymes in Saliva Samples

Ideal for student skill practice.

In this experiment, students safely analyze the enzymatic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.

Students perform thin-layer chromatographic separation of carotene, xanthophyll, and chlorophylls.

With this kit, students learn how transformed cells take up a plasmid that contains the GFP gene.

Students identify individuals based on DNA analysis.

In this colorful experiment, students will explore the biological process of bacterial transformation using vibrant chromogenic proteins.

Over 380 million people worldwide are afflicted by diabetes mellitus, a chronic disease that leads to high blood sugar. Due to genetic predisposition and high-calorie, low-activity lifestyles, that number continues to grow. Without early detection and treatment of diabetes, severe medical complications can occur. In this simulation, students will diagnose diabetes in three patients using the urine glucose test and Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).

For centuries, humans have used selective breeding and conventional hybridization to produce desirable qualities and to increase crop yields. Today, scientists use genetic engineering to directly manipulate the DNA, quickly producing these desirable traits. In this experiment, students will use agarose gel electrophoresis to explore the molecular methods used by scientists to identify genetically modified organisms. No thermal cycler is required. Students are also encouraged to explore the controversy surrounding the use of genetically modified organisms.

High quality micropipette tips to meet any lab's needs.

The EDGE™ Integrated Electrophoresis System revolutionizes biotechnology by merging an electrophoresis chamber, power supply and blue light into a single, safe and easy-to-use apparatus.
