DNA Fingerprinting by PCR Amplification

Forensic DNA fingerprinting has become a universally accepted crime-fighting tool. Recent advances use the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify human DNA obtained from crime scenes. This experiment, based on a crime scene scenario, has an inquiry-based component. 

Nucleic Acid Testing for COVID-19

SARS-CoV-2 is a novel coronavirus that has caused a worldwide outbreak of respiratory disease beginning in 2019. In this simulated medical test, we will use electrophoresis to detect the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in samples from patients with symptoms of COVID-19.

Vertical Electrophoresis Apparatus

The tank is designed for easy separation of proteins on polyacrylamide gels utilizing our unique gel support cassette clip. It allows gels to be easily inserted or removed and holds them in place securely.

DNA Paternity Testing Simulation

​This experiment introduces students to the use of DNA fingerprinting in a simulated paternity determination. A child's DNA fingerprint is compared with his parents. The experiment does not contain human DNA.

DNA Fingerprinting by Restriction Enzyme Patterns

Basic concepts of DNA fingerprinting are featured in this lab by comparing crime scene DNA with suspect DNAs. Fingerprint patterns are separated by agarose gel electrophoresis and the students determine who may have done-it!
