DNA Fingerprinting Activity Kit

Investigate a Crime Using Gel Electrophoresis

• Kit includes enough materials for 6 groups of 4-5 students or 24-36 students

Introduce students to real-life applications for DNA fragmentation and agarose gel electrophoresis with this exciting hands-on kit. In attempt to identify the criminals involved in a fictitious crime scene, students will analyze DNA from fingerprint samples taken from the scene using fragmentation by specific enzymes to uncover a match.

 : Kit contains: 1 vial victim DNA, 1 vial suspect 1 DNA, 1 vial suspect 2 DNA, 1 vial crime scene DNA 1, 1 vial crime scene DNA 2, 6 vials cleaving enzyme Mix, 1 tube sterile water, 1 vial DNA loading buffer (6X), 1 pack agarose, 1 bottle TAE buffer (50X), 1 vial LabSafe™ nucleic acid stain, 50 centrifuge tubes (1.5 ml).
