Edvotek™ Cleavage of Lambda DNA with EcoRI
The DNA from bacteriophage lambda is a well-characterized linear molecule containing six recognition sites for EcoRI (five distinct sites; two very close in size).
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™ 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™ Detection of a Simulated Infectious Agent
Tracking an outbreak by understanding the pattern of disease transmission.
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™ AP LAB 9: Biotechnology — Restriction Enzyme Analysis of DNA
For analysis of Eco RI cleavage patterns of lambda DNA
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™ Purification and Size Determination of Green and Blue Fluorescent Proteins
The unique fluorescent properties of GFP and BFP will be used as an assay during their purification from an E. coli extract.
Edvotek™ Identification and Characterization of Bacteria Kit
Gram staining is a quick, effective, and medically relevant identification test that is essential for bacterial classification. Students will use this staining technique to examine the size, shape, arrangement, and gram status (+/-) of Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Micrococcus luteus.
Edvotek™ Southern Blot Analysis For DNA Fingerprinting
Advanced-level experiment for DNA fingerprinting.
Edvotek™ Clinical Diagnostic Immunoblot
Demonstrates a sensitive immunological assay used in research and clinical laboratories to quantify protein antigens.
Edvotek™ Mapping of Restriction Sites on Plasmid DNA
Perform electrophoresis of plasmid DNA in parallel with standard DNA markers.
Edvotek™ Exploring Biotechnology with Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)
Four experimental modules are combined into one experiment to provide a comprehensive biotechnology exploration focusing on the green fluorescent protein (GFP).
EDVOTEK™ Follow That Flush Using Biotechnology to Stop Outbreaks
Electrophoresis to test simulated water samples for bacteria and viruses
Edvotek™ Transformation of E. coli with Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)
GFP gene was isolated and cloned from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria.
