Genetics and DNA Studies Classroom Kits
Innovating Science™ Introduction to Mendelian Genetics Kits
In this activity, students can simulate Mendel's work and determine patterns of inheritance.
Innovating Science™ Small Group Learning: Genetics Of Blood Types
Blood type, an inherited characteristic, has use in everything from forensic investigations to medical procedures. In this activity, students will learn about the genetics that determine blood type and the possible inheritance patterns and how they express themselves.
Innovating Science™ Individual Instruction: Introduction To Mendelian Genetics
In this activity, students can simulate Mendel's work and determine patterns of inheritance using special chips and Innovating Science's exclusive 'double dice.'
Edvotek™ Decoding Fragile X Syndrome
In this kit, students gain an understanding of the screening process for Fragile X syndrome. Students will analyze simulated patient PCR samples to determine CGG repeat expansions in the FMR1 gene. Next, simulated Southern blot analysis will be used to confirm repeat size and methylation status.
EDVOTEK™ Sickle Cell Gene Detection (DNA-based) with SYBR™ Safe
In this Sickle Cell Gene Detection (DNA-based) with SYBR™ Safe kit, your students investigate the restriction enzyme that discriminates between HbA (normal) and HbS (disease) genes.
Edvotek™ Tick Talk: Tick-Borne Disease Diagnostics
In Tick Talk, students work to identify several tick species using macroscopic characteristics. Once the species is identified, students will extract DNA from the simulated tick species. Finally, a PCR analysis determines what tick-borne diseases are present in this particular tick population.
Edvotek™ Linking Food Science to Biotechnology: Unlock the Color of Candies Kit
Investigate how agarose gel electrophoresis unlocks color code used by food scientists to make colorful candies.
EDVOTEK™ Restriction Enzyme Cleavage of Plasmid and Lambda DNA with SYBR™ Safe
In this Restriction Enzyme Cleavage of Plasmid and Lambda DNA with SYBR™ Safe kit, plasmid and lambda DNA are pre-digested with restriction enzymes - endonucleases that recognize and cut double-stranded DNA within or near defined base sequences.
EDVOTEK™ Cholesterol Diagnostics with SYBR™ Safe
In this Cholesterol Diagnostics with SYBR™ Safe experiment, a simulated genetic test for hypercholesterolemia is demonstrated.
AMPLYUS LLC miniPCR bio BioBits: Central Dogma (classroom kit)
BioBits: Central Dogma. Students observe how genetic information flows from DNA to RNA, and then to protein, right before their eyes — transcription and translation in a test tube, with stunning fluorescent outputs.
EDVOTEK™ Genetic Flightplan: Navigating Galapagos Finch Diversity with SYBR™ Safe
In this Cholesterol Diagnostics with SYBR™ Safe experiment, a simulated genetic test for hypercholesterolemia is demonstrated.
EDVOTEK™ Detection of Genetically Modified Organisms with SYBR™ Safe
In this Detection of Genetically Modified Organisms with SYBR™ Safe kit experiment, students will use agarose gel electrophoresis to explore the molecular methods used by scientists to identify genetically modified organisms.
Edvotek™ DNA Fingerprinting by PCR Amplification
Demonstrates the utility of DNA amplification in forensics.
