Biotechnology Classroom Supplies
Edvotek™ Transformation of E. coli with pGAL™ (Blue Colony)
Presence of IPTG is not required.
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™ 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™ Clinical Diagnostic Immunoblot
Demonstrates a sensitive immunological assay used in research and clinical laboratories to quantify protein antigens.
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™ 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™ AP LAB 9: Biotechnology — Restriction Enzyme Analysis of DNA
For analysis of Eco RI cleavage patterns of lambda DNA
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™ 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™ 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™ In Search of the Sickle Cell Gene by Southern Blot
Use Southern blots to detect mutations while gaining insight about the effects of sickle cell anemia.
EDVOTEK™ Cancer Gene Detection with SYBR™ Safe
In this Cancer Gene Detection with SYBR™ Safe experiment, students determine a pedigree for a family suspected to be carriers of mutations in their p53 genes. A DNA test indicates their likelihood of developing cancer.
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™ Detection of a Simulated Infectious Agent
Tracking an outbreak by understanding the pattern of disease transmission.
Edvotek™ In Search of the Cholesterol Gene
This experiment includes reagents for the colorimetric enzymatic reaction which is the basis of the clinical cholesterol test. In addition, using agarose gel electrophoresis, students will analyze a simulated genetic screening for a disease.
