Education Supplies
Edvotek™ Advanced Placement Laboratory Kit 4: Plant Pigment Chromatography and Photosynthesis
Experiment demonstrates light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis by colorimetric assay, and helps students to gain an understanding of the biochemical processes by which they work.
Edvotek™ Safari Reunion
In this lab, students will perform electrophoresis on the DNA samples of two lions in order to return them to wildlife sanctuaries close to their ancestral home.
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™ Detection of a Simulated Infectious Agent
Tracking an outbreak by understanding the pattern of disease transmission.
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™ What Is PCR and How Does It Work?
Demonstrates the process of DNA amplification by PCR.
Edvotek™ Determination of Protein Molecular Weight (Polyacrylamide-based)
Using prestained LyphoProteins™, subunit molecular weights are determined by analysis using denaturing SDS vertical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
Edvotek™ Blood Typing
Learn about determining blood types.
Edvotek™ Quick PCR
Lets students gain hands-on experience in the principles and practice of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
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™ 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™ 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™ Expanding Our Testing: Using ELISA to Detect COVID-19
In this simulated medical test, students will perform the ELISA to detect the presence of COVID-19 antibodies in simulated patient samples.
Edvotek™ Affinity Chromatography of Glucose-Binding Proteins
Isolate a carbohydrate-binding lectin protein from an extract of jack bean meal.
Edvotek™ Molecular Weight Determination of Proteins
Introduce a simple method to determine protein subunit molecular weights using horizontal electrophoresis. Because the protein standards and 'unknowns' are prestained, the separation of proteins can be observed during electrophoresis.
