DNA Forensics—
Super Value Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Students become forensic scientists and use biotechnology to solve a crime by
analyzing DNA samples collected at the “crime scene.” The DNA samples are run
through a gel electrophoresis “maze” and distinct bands separate—clearly leading
to the guilty person. Use this nonviolent scenario to teach your students about DNA
electrophoresis! Includes student and teacher instructions plus a crime report and
all the materials necessary to run six gels.
Super Value Kit is complete for 30 student groups. Requires electrophoresis apparatus
and power supply. DNA source is Lambda phage.*

FB2054 DNA Forensics—Super Value Laboratory Kit $265.00
DNA Paternity Testing—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Perform a paternity test using enzyme-restricted DNA to determine the descendant of
one of the greatest thinkers of the Renaissance. The DNA is ready to load into studentprepared
electrophoresis gels. After electrophoresis, students will clearly see the
resulting DNA bands and be able to easily identify each band to solve the mystery.
Students learn about restriction enzymes, DNA inheritance and important electrophoresis
techniques with this engaged lab experience. This kit contains comprehensive
background information about paternity testing and DNA analysis plus step-by-step
procedures, questions and Teacher Notes.
Complete with enough materials to run six gels. Requires electrophoresis apparatus
and power supply. DNA source is Lambda phage.*

FB1799 DNA Paternity Testing—Student Laboratory Kit $123.62
The Genetics of Cancer—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Students use biotechnology to determine who carries the BRCA-1 and BARD-1 genes
for hereditary breast–ovarian cancer (HBOC). Students must identify the unique DNA
bands that form during gel electrophoresis analysis and compare the bands to see
who is a carrier. The four samples of enzyme-restricted DNA are ready to load into
student-prepared gels. This kit contains comprehensive background information
about germline mutations and DNA analysis plus step-by-step procedures, questions
and Teacher Notes.
Complete with enough materials to run six gels. Required electrophoresis apparatus
and power supply. DNA source is Lambda phage.*

Roles of Restriction Enzymes—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
First students simultaneously run two identical DNA samples, one cut with EcoRI
and the other cut with HindIII, using gel electrophoresis. Then the banding patterns
produced are analyzed to see how the use of different restriction enzymes results
in changes in the number and size of the bands. This lab helps students understand
the theory of how restriction enzymes digest DNA. It also enhances laboratory skills,
such as preparing an agarose gel, loading and running DNA samples and staining
and destaining the gel to observe the separated bands of DNA.
Materials provided include sufficient agarose to make 6 gels, DNA samples cut
with EcoRI and HindIII, TAE buffer and methylene blue for staining the gel as well as
needle-tip pipets and large weighing dishes. Complete for 6 student groups. DNA
source is Lambda phage.*
