Understanding Biotechnology Techniques

Product Description

Fun and engaging simulated activities to learn about biotechnology. Study the process of electrophoresis, simulating every step without the need for equipment or even any prior knowledge! With this completely reusable kit, students use pop-beads to assemble DNA strands, digest them with restriction enzymes and electrophorese them on a paper gel. In doing so, they’ll learn the scientific principles behind electrophoresis, the action of restriction enzymes, the creation of recombinant organisms and the countless applications of this process in biology and medicine. Class size – 40 students
