DNA Electrophoresis Labs and
Simulations
DNA electrophoresis is an easy, fun, exciting, and
safe activity to perform in the classroom. It is a
widely used technique that is carried out in DNA
fingerprinting, paternity testing, genetic testing,
and genetic engineering. These labs and simulations
bring a wide variety of classroom activities
to use in introducing electrophoresis into your
lessons. Grades 5—12. Sh. wt. 1.25 lbs.
The Mystery of the Crooked Cell. This simple
lab demonstrates detection of the mutation that causes Sickle Cell Anemia. In the simulation,
your students will use electrophoresis to separate dyes that represent patient
samples and controls. Includes: Ready-to-Load dye samples, agarose powder, practice
gel loading solution, electrophoresis buffer, microtipped transfer pipettes, and instructions.
For up to 10 groups. 45-minute lab.
SB45630M — $83.25
DNA Fingerprinting. Basic concepts of DNA fingerprinting are featured in this lab by
comparing crime scene DNA with suspect DNAs. Fingerprinting patterns are separated
by agarose gel electrophoresis and the students determine who may have done it!
Includes: Ready-to-Load DNA samples, UltraSpec-Agarose powder, practice gel loading
solution, electrophoresis buffer, InstaStain® Methylene Blue and Methylene Blue
Plus stain, calibrated pipet, 100 ml graduated cylinder, microtipped transfer pipettes,
and instructions. 60-minute lab.
SB45631M — $108.00
In Search of My Father. Solve the mystery of two boys separated from their parents
a decade ago. Their biological mother is identified by mitochondrial DNA and their
biological father from chromosomal DNA. Includes: Ready-to-Load dye samples, aga-
rose powder, practice gel loading solution, electrophoresis buffer, microtipped transfer
pipettes, and instructions. For up to 10 groups. 45-minute lab.
SB45636M — $89.85
Why Do People Look Different? Teach your students how people’s physical traits are
a reflection of their genes. In this simulation, your students will use electrophoresis to
separate dyes which represent genetic traits. Includes: Ready-to-Load dye samples,
agarose powder, practice gel loading solution, electrophoresis buffer, microtipped transfer
pipettes, and instructions. For up to 10 groups. 45-minute lab.
SB45637M — $83.25
What Size Are Your Genes? Teach your students how agarose acts as a molecular sieve
during electrophoresis to separate different-sized pieces of DNA quickly and simply
using brightly coloured dyes. Includes: Ready-to-Load dye samples, agarose powder,
practice gel loading solution, electrophoresis buffer, microtipped transfer pipettes, and
instructions. For up to 10 groups. 45-minute lab.
