Catalog Number: (763-0007)

Supplier: EDVOTEK

Description: This kit is for teaching students how people's physical traits are a reflection of their genes. In this simulation, students use electrophoresis to separate dyes which represent genetic traits.

UOM: 1 * 1 KIT

Catalog Number: (EDVOS-48)

Supplier: EDVOTEK

Description: This simulation experiment demonstrates the process of DNA amplification by PCR and how the amplified product is detected by separating the reaction mixture by agarose gel electrophoresis.

UOM: 1 * 1 KIT

Supplier: EDVOTEK

Description: Ready-to-Load™ kit to show how electrophoresis separates molecules on the basis of size and charge.

Catalog Number: (EDVO316)

Supplier: EDVOTEK

Description: Coronary heart disease and stroke are major causes of death in the Western world. Elevated blood cholesterol levels are a serious risk factor in both conditions. The genetic disease familial hypersholesterolemia (FH) causes an increase in blood levels of the bad form of cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL). In untreated patients with the mutant FH gene, the condition can cause premature death. This experiment introduces the colorimetric enzymatic reaction which is the basis of the clinical cholesterol test. In addition, using agarose gel electrophoresis, students can analyse a simulated genetic screening for a disease.

Catalog Number: (EDVO243)

Supplier: EDVOTEK

Description: Most molecules have a net charge within a pH range of 2 to 10. When the pH is altered, the net charge on molecules can change drastically. In this experiment, a mixture of two chemicals is absorbed onto a solid support ion-exchange column and separated during elution under conditions that influence their net charge.

Catalog Number: (EDVO253)

Supplier: EDVOTEK

Description: In this experiment, students study the diversity of fish using pre-stained, lyophilised proteins. Total protein from perch, walleye and salmon is extracted and pre-stained using an indicator dye. Each fish protein sample has a characteristic banding pattern when separated by denaturing SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, which can be used to identify the specific species.

UOM: 1 * 1 KIT

Catalog Number: (EDVO269)

Supplier: EDVOTEK

Description: Students learn the basic principles of the Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) using this precise and sensitive antibody-based detection kit.

Catalog Number: (EDVO113)

Supplier: EDVOTEK

Description: This experiment introduces chromatographic theory and methods of thin layer chromatography (TLC). A mixture of dyes are separated on a cellulose-based TLC plate using different solvent systems.

Description: DNA obtained from a single hair left behind at a crime scene can be used to identify a criminal. In this experiment, students will compare simulated crime scene DNA with that of two suspects.

UOM: 1 * 1 KIT

Catalog Number: (EDVOS-91)

Supplier: EDVOTEK

Description: Evidence left behind at a crime scene can identify a potential culprit. Even in this age of DNA, fingerprints and blood stains are still important in helping to identify a criminal. In this experiment, students solve a crime by dusting for fingerprints and use fluorescent dust to search for and identify trace amounts of blood.

Description: This simple experiment demonstrates detection of the mutation that causes Sickle Cell Anaemia. In this simulation, students use electrophoresis to separate dyes that represent patient samples and controls.

UOM: 1 * 1 items

Catalog Number: (EDVOS-68)

Supplier: EDVOTEK

Description: Infectious agents such as bacteria and viruses can spread rapidly through a population and cause widespready disease and death. In this experiment, students use coloured solutions to simulate the spreading of a disease in the classroom.

UOM: 1 * 1 items

Catalog Number: (EDVOS-30)

Description: With this kit, students sample water and air and then grow any microbes present overnight. A safe and simple way to teach pollution.

UOM: 1 * 1 items

Catalog Number: (EDVO225)

Supplier: EDVOTEK

Description: This experiment helps teach students about restriction enzyme digests in the context of forensic science. Students cut DNA with restriction enzymes and then compare the banding pattern of the crime scene DNA versus that of two suspects using agarose gel electrophoresis.

Description: DNA mapping is a common procedure used to determine the location of genes. In this experiment, DNA markers and pre-digested plasmid DNA fragments are mapped using agarose gel electrophoresis.

Supplier: EDVOTEK

Description: In this experiment, students determine a pedigree for a family thought to be carriers of a mutation in their p53 genes. This is followed by a diagnostic agarose gel analysis to diagnose the state of the p53 gene in individual family members.
