Electrophoresis

UK made Electrophoresis Kits. These exciting kits come either with real DNA samples or with dye samples to simulate DNA. Dye kits do not need staining after the gel has been run making them quick and easy to use. For those who prefer to see authentic banding using actual DNA we offer the same scenario but using real DNA samples, these kits do take longer to complete as the gels will need staining and de-staining in order to visualise the DNA banding. Alternatively visualise the DNA kits under Blue light – see transilluminator page 189 Electrophoresis Kits

1 CYSTIC FIBROSIS TESTING KITS Use these exciting electrophoresis kits to teach genetic testing for cystic fibrosis! Cystic fibrosis is caused by a 3 base pair deletion and is easily seen using DNA electrophoresis. With this set, a mother, father and child are tested. Your students will see a normal, carrier and affected genotype in the control samples provided. You can use the set to teach the meaning of the terms heterozygote and homozygote. The ethical issues raised by genetic testing can also be covered. All you need: electrophoresis tank, power supply, fixed volume or adjustable 40µl micropipette and tips, plus either the dye kit or DNA kit. The dye kit contains: instructions, dye samples, agarose, electrophoresis buffer For 2 classes of 6 groups each = 12 gels The DNA Kit contains: Contents: instructions, DNA samples, DNA stain, agarose, electrophoresis buffer For 8 gels. Cat No. Description Price Per BIO-520-100 Cystic Fibrosis DNA Testing Kit 68.31 ea. BIO-520-150 Cystic Fibrosis Dye Testing Kit 46.91 ea. 2 DNA FINGERPRINTING KITS Your students can solve a crime with these exciting electrophoresis kits! They must match the DNA pattern from the crime scene with one of five suspects to find the culprit. Students must match the banding pattern to work out the result. Additionally, advanced students can learn about short tandem repeats (STR) – a type of variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) using the kits. All you need: electrophoresis tank, power supply, fixed volume or adjustable 40µl micropipette and tips, plus either the dye kit or DNA kit. The DNA Kit contains: instructions, DNA samples, DNA stain, agarose, electrophoresis buffer for 8 gels. The Dye Kit contains: instructions, dye samples, agarose, electrophoresis buffer. For 2 classes of 6 groups each = 12 gels Cat No. Description Price Per BIO-530-100 DNA Fingerprinting DNA Kit 74.17 ea. BIO-530-150 DNA Fingerprinting Dye Kit 46.91 ea. 3 PATERNITY TESTING KITS Paternity testing is now very routine around the world. Give your students an understanding of this technique with these exciting electrophoresis kits! Compare a child’s DNA with their mother and two possible fathers. Students must match the banding pattern to work out the result. Additionally, advanced students can learn about short tandem repeats (STRs) – a type of variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) using the kit. All you need: electrophoresis tank, power supply, fixed volume or adjustable 40µl micropipette and tips, plus the DNA or dye kit. PLEASE NOTE: the DNA kit has a shelf-life of 6 months and will be ordered as required. Please use within 6 months of purchase. The DNA kit includes: instructions, DNA samples, DNA stain, agarose, electrophoresis buffer for 8 gels. The Dye kit contains: instructions, dye samples, agarose, electrophoresis buffer For 2 classes of 6 groups each = 12 gels Cat No. Description Price Per BIO-540-100 Paternity Testing DNA Kit 68.31 ea. BIO-540-150 Paternity Testing Dye Kit 46.91 ea. For your information... All DNA kits have a six month shelf life. Consequently, we order as required from the manufacturer to ensure maximum shelf life.
