Biotechnology Classroom Supplies
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™ Isolation of E. Coli Chromosomal DNA
Isolate chromosomal DNA from E. Coli.
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™ Hack the Planet: Using CRISPR to Terraform Mars Kit
Simulate the use of CRISPR-Cas9 to modify bacterial DNA, which will then be transformed into auxotrophic E. coli that are incapable of surviving on the Martian surface. Only bacteria that receive the successfully edited DNA can survive, thrive, and help to terraform Mars!
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™ 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™ 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™ What Is PCR and How Does It Work?
Demonstrates the process of DNA amplification by PCR.
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™ 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 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™ 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™ Quantitative ELISA Laboratory Activity
Antibodies are highly specific in their recognition of antigens.
Edvotek™ Linking STEM to Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Educational Kit
Help students to learn about application of gel electrophoresis in DNA Fingerprinting, DNA Paternity Testing, Genetics (related to health and well-being), and the detection of Genetically Modified Foods. Edvotek™ Linking STEM to Agarose Gel Electrophoresis kit is supplied with four unique module options.
