Product Details
Advanced—For experienced high school and college classes; requires some basic technical skill.
Looking to build on your students' classroom knowledge of DNA fingerprinting with a hands-on activity? This kit takes your forensics class to the next level by giving students the opportunity to analyze DNA samples from a (fictitious) crime scene. As students immerse themselves in attempting to identify the culprit, they learn more about DNA profiling and the role of tandem repeats in the analysis.
Students build on that knowledge by conducting a hands-on investigation of the samples using PCR amplification and gel electrophoresis to help close the case. This kit is a great next step for bringing molecular techniques into your forensics classroom or an ideal investigation for engaging your biology classroom in a new way.
Kit is designed for 4 groups of students and contains materials for 28 PCR reactions.
Note: Kit includes a voucher to request perishable materials later at your convenience. Contact Carolina or return the voucher to request delivery of perishable materials.
