The EduPrimer™
DNA Profiling Kit is specifically designed to introduce students to the principles
and applications of PCR, focusing on its real-life use of DNA profiling
in forensics and disease research. The core kit is designed with 30
reactions total, meant for 24 student reactions and 6 control reactions.
- Option between two dimorphic genes in the Alu family (TPA-25 and PV92) for a maximum of four shifted DNA bands per student, demonstrating the power of PCR, and teaching the techniques to utilize it.
- Extremely simple and fast protocol for easy integration into classrooms such as Introductory or General Biology. Anyone can do it.
- Quick protocol involving isolation of students' DNA, PCR and electrophoresis, all completed within a 2.5 - 3 hour time frame.
