Designed for the first-time user, the complete system comes with all the hardware you need to run electrophoresis tests. The system will safely run on low-voltage batteries, which will provide enough power to run up to ten gels. Students are given DNA samples from a “crime scene” to electrophorese and discover who perpetrated the crime by analyzing their unique genetic patterns, or fingerprints. Comes with enough materials to perform up to eight separations: gel chamber, casting tray, six-well comb, prepared agarose, running DNA samples, DNA marker sample, micropipets, microcentrifuge tubes, and an instructional video on electrophoresis, as well as a teacher’s guide and student copymaster. Requires five alkaline or rechargeable batteries not included. Note: Coupon included for perishable materials. Redeem with the manufacturer by mail, fax, phone, or e-mail.
