EDVOTEK DNA Fingerprinting Made Simple Kit KIT
EDVOTEK DNA Fingerprinting Made Simple Kit KIT
Product code: E8R03276
Product Description
*Please Note: This is a simulated DNA Fingerprinting Kit for use in education. It is not suitable for diagnostic or clinical use*
Forensic DNA fingerprinting has become a universally accepted crime-fighting tool. Recent advances use the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify human DNA obtained from crime scenes. This experiment, based on a crime scene scenario, has an inquiry-based component.
In this kit, students will solve a crime using real DNA. This ready-to-load kit means you can quickly teach DNA fingerprinting in your class and show your students how DNA evidence is used in modern Forensics. This experiment allows for varied results depending on the selection of DNA fingerprinting patterns.
- Group Size: for 12 lab groups
- Storage: Room temperature stable, storage of Ready-to-Load QuickStrip™ DNA samples in the refrigerator is recommended.
- Time Required: Complete in 45 minutes
