Biotechnology Laboratory System
A low-cost way to build your own biotechnology laboratory. Our biotechnology lab system promises to take your electrophoresis studies to another level. The electrophoresis chambers are double-gel units and feature state-of-the-art design and safety features to prevent shocks. The variable voltage power supply can easily run all three electrophoresis chambers simultaneously. The microcentrifuge will allow you to spin down your samples and efficiently complete your pre-lab preparation. The transluminator will help your students see the bands on their gels to get the most from their experimental results. The complete system includes:
• 3 double-gel electrophoresis chambers
• 1 variable voltage power supply
• 1 agarose Gel Electrophoresis Lab Investigation
including all of the necessary reagents
• 3 fixed volume micropipets, 25-μL
• 1 white light transilluminator
• 1 microcentrifuge

EdvoCyclerTM—Thermal Cycler
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a “workhorse” technique in modern DNA analysis—the all-new EdvoCycler allows you to bring PCR to the laboratory at an affordable price! The thermal cycler is used to amplify trace amounts of DNA, producing millions of copies of DNA fragments for analysis. PCR is used in medical and biologi- cal research labs to sequence genes, diagnose infectious or hereditary diseases, and determine paternity or identity. The EdvoCycler’s thermal block accommodates 25, 0.2-mL, thin-walled microtubes. The thermal cycler precisely raises and lowers the temperature according to a pre- set program. Common PCR protocols programmed into the thermal cycler make it easy to use, even for a beginner. New protocols can also be added with temperatures as low as 4 °C or as high as 99 °C and a maximum rate of 3 °C per second. Heated plate in the lid eliminates the need for messy PCR oil or paraffin wax seals. Vivid seven-line LCD displays all program parameters simultaneously without any scrolling. Unit is compact, 16" x 81⁄2" x 7", and weighs only 11 pounds. Two-year warranty. See the “PCR-Based DNA Fingerprinting” kit for a conve- nient activity using the EdvoCycler.
Gel electrophoresis equipment is required to analyze the PCR samples.
PCR Thermo Cycler
The PCR Thermo Cycler is an essential laboratory instrument in the fields of biotechnology, cloning, genotyping, mutagensis and sequenc- ing, to name a few. Combining high performance with an intuitive 7" color touch-screen panel for easy programming, the Thermo Cycler features innovative heating/cooling elements with precise control and fast rates, high-performance DSP and temperature-control algorithm, power off protection and an aluminum adapter block.
