From the Labs of Industry-Leading Scientists

The Bio-Rad Explorer Program brings practical biotech concepts to your labs like never before. With activities ranging from actual DNA extraction to solving the Giant Panda conservation problem through antibody diagnostics, Bio-Rad is expanding both the Flinn catalog and the minds of your soon-to-be scientists.

Bio-Rad Virus Disease Detection and Transmission Kit

Two patients stumble into a hospital with severe symptoms associated with a newly emerging virus. Doctors diagnose the patients and find that one is, in fact, infected with the novel virus. This person had eaten lunch at a local restaurant earlier that day, so public health officials track down others who were also at the restaurant in an effort to determine how the virus spreads.

Based on published viral transmission cases studies, this hands-on lab activity puts your students into the roles of an emergency room (ER) doctor, medical laboratory scientist, epidemiologist, and public health official as they analyze patient samples and use patient information to determine how a novel virus strain spread through a restaurant. In an optional activity, students consider what might need to be done to prevent further spread of the virus.​
