Principles & Practice of Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Kit [1827]

The Principles & Practice of Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Kit provides a safe, engaging, and highly visual way to introduce students to one of the most important techniques used in modern biology and biochemistry. Designed specifically for classroom use, this kit allows students to observe how molecules are separated based on size and charge through agarose gel electrophoresis.

Using bright, ready-to-load dye samples, students can easily track molecular movement through the gel in real time, making this a fast, colourful, and memorable practical activity. The kit is suitable for up to 8 lab groups, with 2–4 students per group, making it ideal for whole-class demonstrations or hands-on group investigations.

Comprehensive instructions and all essential consumables are included to ensure straightforward setup and reliable results. Only standard laboratory equipment—such as an electrophoresis tank, power supply, and a heat source—are required, making this kit a practical and cost-effective choice for school science departments.
