This kit is sufficient for 25 students. In this activity, students will extract DNA from their own cheek cells and leave class wearing their DNA in a stylish glass pendant around their neck. This activity was originally developed for the BioBus travelling biotechnology exhibition and approved by Education Queensland. This simple lab activity requires no specialized equipment or stains, yet allows students to conduct a real-world laboratory procedure that is used to extract DNA from a wide variety of organisms. Students realize how easily DNA can be isolated for use in many biotechnology applications, such as: cloning, gene transfer, and DNA profiling. The kit includes the following:
- Complete instructions, background notes and study questions
- Lysis buffer
- Protease enzyme
- Salt solution
- Glass pendants, plastic and metal caps, waxed cotton cords
- Collection brushes
- Round-bottom test tubes
- Transfer pipettes
- Glue.
You simply supply hot water and ice-cold ethanol or isopropanol.
Additional students can be accommodated at $4.50/head. Alternatively, talk to us about your requirements- smaller kit sizes are available.
