Education Supplies
Edvotek™ How Clean is Clean? Testing the Effectiveness of Antibacterial Cleaners Kit
Students will do two experiments to explore the properties of bacterial growth. They will determine a bacteria's ability to resist the antibiotic ampicillin, then test different household cleaners to determine which one is the most effective at preventing bacterial growth.
Edvotek™ Using CRISPR to Treat Cystic Fibrosis Kit
Simulate the use of CRISPR-Cas9 to target a genetic mutation found in a patient suffering from Cystic Fibrosis. Students will develop an understanding of guide RNA (gRNA) design, and use agarose gel electrophoresis to examine pre-prepared DNA samples after CRISPR treatment.
Edvotek™ Survey of Protein Diversity
Polyacrylamide-based.
Edvotek™ AIDS Kit III: Simulation of HIV Detection by Protein Electrophoresis Experiment Kit
In this experiment, students will use SDS-PAGE to simulate the identification of HIV proteins in simulated patient samples. Edvotek™ AIDS Kit III: Simulation of HIV Detection by Protein Electrophoresis Experiment Kit test results are used to diagnose an HIV infection.
Edvotek™ Affinity Chromatography of Glucose-Binding Proteins
Isolate a carbohydrate-binding lectin protein from an extract of jack bean meal.
Edvotek™ Biofuel from Alcohol Fermentation Experiment Kit
Designed to introduce basic concepts of fermentation and bioprocessing through the production of Ethanol in a small-scale fermentor. Edvotek™ Biofuel from Alcohol Fermentation Experiment Kit uses Saccharomyces cerevisiae to break down sugar into ethanol.
Edvotek™ Diagnosing Huntington's Using PCR
Students will conduct a DNA fingerprinting exercise on simulated patient samples to determine if family members are heterozygous or homozygous for Huntington's Disease. Amplified DNA segments are then analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis.
Edvotek™ Detection of Genetically Modified Organisms Kit
Use of agarose gel electrophoresis to explore molecular methods used by scientists to identify genetically modified organisms.
Edvotek™ Battling Bacteria: Ecosystem Dynamics in a Petri Dish Kit
Students create their own microbial ecosystems to investigate the dynamics of competition and abiotic/biotic change on community composition. By using bacteria with short generation times students can observe, test, and collect their own data on key ecological phenomena in a single week!
Edvotek™ Researching Alzheimer's Disease by ELISA Kit
Students will become neuroscientists searching for Alzheimer's Disease biomarkers. Explores potential biomarkers by analyzing simulated patient samples from control and Alzheimer's Disease populations.
EDVOTEK™ DNA Paternity Testing Simulation with SYBR™ Safe
This DNA Paternity Testing Simulation with SYBR™ Safe experiment introduces students to the use of DNA fingerprinting in a simulated paternity determination. A child's DNA fingerprint is compared with his parents.
EDVOTEK™ DNA Fingerprinting by Restriction Enzyme Patterns with SYBR™ Safe
Basic concepts of DNA fingerprinting are featured in this DNA Fingerprinting by Restriction Enzyme Patterns with SYBR™ Safe lab by comparing crime scene DNA with suspect DNAs.
EDVOTEK™ Mapping of Restriction Sites on Plasmid DNA with SYBR™ Safe
In this Mapping of Restriction Sites on Plasmid DNA with SYBR™ Safe experiment, DNA markers and pre-digested plasmid DNA fragments are mapped using agarose gel electrophoresis.
EDVOTEK™ Genetic Flightplan: Navigating Galapagos Finch Diversity with SYBR™ Safe
In this Cholesterol Diagnostics with SYBR™ Safe experiment, a simulated genetic test for hypercholesterolemia is demonstrated.
Edvotek™ DNA Damage and Repair
Students can see firsthand the damage done by UV light.
