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™ Detection of Mad Cow Disease with SYBR™ Safe
In this Detection of Mad Cow Disease with SYBR™ Safe experiment, students examine simulated PCR products from several feed mills to determine if any animal parts were included in the cattle feed.
Edvotek™ Western Blot Analysis, Polyacrylamide-Based
In Western Blot analysis, protein identification is based on antibody and antigen reactions.
Edvotek™ What Is PCR and How Does It Work?
Demonstrates the process of DNA amplification by PCR.
Edvotek™ Bioremediation by Oil-eating Bacteria
Examine the process by which compounds are broken down by microbes.
Edvotek™ Classroom DNA Electrophoresis LabStation™
The perfect way to bring DNA electrophoresis to your whole class! This LabStation™ provides all you need to run any DNA or dye electrophoresis kit with your students.
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™ 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.
EDVOTEK™ Principles of PCR with SYBR™ Safe
In this Principles of PCR kit experiment, students are introduced to the principles and applications of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). This simulation experiment does not contain human DNA and does not require a thermal cycler.
Edvotek™ Invisible Footprints: Seeing Carbon Dioxide and Understanding Climate Change Kit
In this experiment, students get to be in charge of their own personal atmosphere! Explores the global carbon cycle and climate change in a simple, positive, and intimate way. Ideal for a middle school classroom.
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™ Quick PCR
Lets students gain hands-on experience in the principles and practice of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
EDVOTEK™ The Great Mum Mix Up
Students will use agarose gel electrophoresis to differentiate between genetically engineered true blue chrysanthemums and artificially-dyed flowers
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™ Whose DNA Was Left Behind? Experiment Kit
Students simulate DNA fingerprinting and use evidence to narrow down a list of criminal suspects.
