Bio-Rad Crime Scene Investigator Kit w Small DNA Electrophoresis Reagent Pack

Item #: FB2638 

Price: $249.00

Ships directly from the manufacturer.

Students become crime scene investigators as they conduct real-world forensic DNA analyses. Using PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis, they analyze the provided DNA samples — from a hypothetical crime scene and suspects — to learn how DNA profiling can distinguish one person from another. This powerful tool assists in investigations of crime scenes, missing persons, mass disasters, immigration disputes, and even paternity testing.
