Developed in cooperation with the DNA Learning Center, this advanced lab uses plasmid isolation and restriction analysis to illustrate forensic DNA typing. Students are provided with 2 samples of E. coli cells to represent blood samples from 2 suspects. Plasmid DNA is extracted using a miniprep procedure and cut with restriction enzymes, along with a DNA sample representing the evidence from a crime scene. The resulting "DNA fingerprints" of the suspects are compared for a match with the evidence.

Ratings & Reviews

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great package for a ready-to-go advanced biology lab I have used this lab for my AP bio class for the last two years and the results have been great. While it's sometimes difficult to make-out the DNA bands, that is the name of the game with this type of lab. All the products came readily labeled and the students were able to follow directions right out of the manual without too much discussion. Highly recommended for teachers looking for a ready-to-go package that delivers good content and understandable hands-on experiences for their bio students. Students at our school tend to have a difficult time with highly-technical reading and while Carolina does an excellent job breaking things down, providing background information, and providing good challenges, I do have to state that "ready-to-go" always implies you'll need to check it out for yourself & get familiar before use. These labs are complex - lots going on! Warning: you will need access to equipment for gel electrophoresis. We reach-out to a local college and this has brought our kids a whole host of great experiences.

DNA Learning Center

DNA Learning Center

Cutting Edge Science in your Classroom

Carolina Biological and the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's DNA Learning Center (DNALC) have partnered together since 1986 to make molecular genetics and biotechnology more accessible to students globally. Focused on creating innovative classroom activities that give students the opportunity to go hands-on with DNA and explore the core principles of genetics. Together we have constantly worked to increase the accessibility of many key scientific breakthroughs for classrooms globally, including such techniques as PCR, DNA Sequencing, and RNAi.

Bringing a Carolina and DNALC kit into your classroom introduces your students to the experience of scientific research on its highest level, in some cases Nobel Prize winning research, with ease and simplicity. Each kit features in-depth background information, classroom tested protocols, pre-packaged materials, and the knowledgeable technical support of the Carolina Biological team. Our wide selection of kits in this series offers educators' unmatched opportunities to bring biotechnology or genetics into their classroom, with a best in class product.

At Carolina, we believe that innovative research doesn't just belong in a lab—it belongs in your classroom.


About the DNA Learning Center

The DNA Learning Center (DNALC) is the world's first science center devoted entirely to genetics education and is an operating unit of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, an important center for molecular genetics research. The mission of the DNA Learning Center is to prepare students and families to thrive in the gene age. We envision a day when all elementary students are exposed to principles of genetics and disease risk; when all high school students have the opportunity to do hands-on experiments with DNA; and when all families have access to genetic information they need to make informed health care choices.
