- Run gels in as little as 15 minutes!
- Introduce your students to genetic screening or environmental forensics
This kit is a great way to do an electrophoresis lab in short class periods. The buffer allows gels to be run at high voltages(high speed) without the loss of resolution seen in gels run at high speed. The lab manual includes 2 different investigative scenarios to choose from.
In the first, students determine whether a father has passed his cancer-associated mutation on to his children. In the second, students determine whether a fisherman illegally fished from a river on protected land.
Both scenarios employ positive and negative controls to demonstrate the importance of controls in experimentation. Manual includes material for teaching at multiple levels.
Gels require a 290-V power supply(not included) to run at full speed. A lower-voltage power supply can be used, but gels will run more slowly.
