Bring a molecular rainbow to your classroom!
This lab offers students an engaging introduction to the theory and practice of a fundamental biotechnology technique: gel electrophoresis.
Students will run dye samples to demonstrate how gel electrophoresis can separate molecular mixtures.
Molecular Rainbow Dye Electrophoresis Lab features:
- An engaging and accessible introduction to gel electrophoresis
- Safe, non-toxic dyes
- Directly visible without staining
- Compatible with Bandit™, blueGel™, and traditional gel electrophoresis systems
- A low-cost jumping-off point to explore topics like inheritance, genetic identification, and more!
Includes:
-
This lab kit provides enough reagents for eight lab groups:
- Rainbow dye samples (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple)
- 10 agarose tabs
- TBE electrophoresis buffer
- 50 plastic tubes (1.7 ml microtubes)
Required by user:
- Distilled or deionized H2O (to dissolve TBE buffer)
- Gel electrophoresis system (lab is compatible with Bandit™, blueGel™, or other gel electrophoresis systems)
- Variable volume micropipettes, or fixed-volume minipettes, and tips
