     DNA Forensics—Student Laboratory Kit
Students use biotechnology to solve a crime by analyzing DNA samples collected at the “crime scene.” Use this nonviolent scenario to teach your students about DNA electro- phoresis and forensics! Includes student and teacher instructions, plus a crime report and all the materials necessary to run six gels. DNA source is Lambda phage. Complete for 6 student groups. A Super Value Kit is also available for 30 student groups.
FB1798 I $106.15
Biotechnology for Young Scientists—Student Laboratory Kit
Students will be amazed as they extract and isolate DNA from fruit! The “spooled” DNA obtained in this manner is identified using electrophoresis. Kit includes dried fruit and all solutions needed for students to isolate DNA as well as agarose, buffer and dyes for electrophoresis. Dried fruit is a safe, convenient source of DNA. Complete for six student groups. A Super Value Kit
is also available for 30 student groups. Electrophoresis apparatus is required and available separately.
Dyeing for Forensics—Super Value Laboratory Kit
Hidden treasure is found in an old mansion and students are challenged to find the rightful owner. Along with the treasure
are some personal mementos that will
help solve the mystery. Six simulated DNA samples are analyzed using gel electropho- resis to determine which family described in the scenario is entitled to receive the mementos and money. This activity is a simulation of the type of analysis made using DNA fingerprinting with two special cases of relatedness testing—Y chromo- some and mitochondrial DNA testing. Complete for 20 gels. Requires electropho- resis apparatus and power supply.

Roles of Restriction Enzymes—Student Laboratory Kit
First, students simultaneously run two identical DNA samples—one cut with EcoRI and
the other cut with HindII—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 restric- tion enzymes digest DNA. Perfect combination of theory and practice! Contains enough materials for 24 students working in groups of four.
FB1960 I $50.60
FB1806 I $83.55
  The Genetics of Cancer—Student Laboratory Kit
In this laboratory kit, students use biotech- nology 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. DNA source is Lambda phage. Enough materials are supplied to run six gels.
