This kit is designed to teach 8 groups of four students the principles of restriction digestion and agarose electrophoresis. The kit contains the reagents to allow students to:
- Set up restriction digests of the p-Amylase plasmid with two enzymes
- Set up positive and negative controls for the restriction digestion
- Load and separate DNA samples on an agarose gel
- Visualize digests of the plasmid on an agarose gel
- Construct the restriction digestion map of the plasmid
Features
- For 8 groups of 4 students
- Requires agarose electrophoresis equipment including UV transilluminator (light box)
- Micropipettes and tips
Applications
- HS-LS1: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
- LS1.A: Structure and Function
