DNA Fingerprinting By Restriction Enzyme Patterns [1828]

Basic concepts of DNA fingerprinting are featured in this lab by comparing crime scene DNA with suspect DNAs. Fingerprint patterns are separated by agarose gel electrophoresis and the students determine who may have done-it! For 8 Lab Groups (2-4 Students per Group). Kit includes: instructions, Ready-to-Load™ DNA samples, UltraSpec- Agarose™ powder, practice gel loading solution, electrophoresis buffer, InstaStain® Blue and FlashBlue™ stain, calibrated pipette, and microtipped transfer pipettes. You need: electrophoresis apparatus, power supply, automatic micropipette and tips, balance, microwave or hot plate, white light visualization system.
