Genetics and DNA Studies Classroom Kits
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™ Detecting the Silent Killer: Clinical Diagnosis of Diabetes
Diagnose diabetes in three patients using urine glucose test and Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).
Edvotek™ Sickle Cell Gene Detection
Gain an understanding of the effect of mutations on health and disease.
Edvotek™ Colored Beads
Can be designated to represent the Watson-Crick DNA bases (A, T, G, C).
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.
Innovating Science™ Introduction to Mendelian Genetics Kits
In this activity, students can simulate Mendel's work and determine patterns of inheritance.
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™ 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™ Cholesterol Diagnostics with SYBR™ Safe
In this Cholesterol Diagnostics with SYBR™ Safe experiment, a simulated genetic test for hypercholesterolemia is demonstrated.
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™ 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.
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.
AMPLYUS LLC miniPCR bio Cystic Fibrosis Lab: Missy Baker Missing™
Missy Baker is missing and police have two suspects. Knowing that Missy Baker has cystic fibrosis, students test DNA evidence from both suspects' cars to see if it matches a person with a CFTR gene deletion, introducing PCR and gel electrophoresis techniques.
