Description

Edvotek Detection of Genetically Modified Organisms Kit contains instructions, Ready-to-Load QuickStrip DNA samples, UltraSpec-Agarose powder, practice gel loading solution, electrophoresis buffer, InstaStain blue and flashblue stain, calibrated pipet and microtipped transfer pipets. It includes sufficient materials for 6 gels. Humans have increased crop yields with desirable qualities using selective breeding and conventional hybridization for centuries. Today, scientists are making use of genetic engineering to directly manipulate the DNA, that rapidly produces the desirable traits. Kit helps to learn more about genetic engineering. Kit allows students to use agarose gel electrophoresis to find out the molecular methods that scientists used for identifying genetically modified organisms. It does not require a thermal cycler. Students require electrophoresis apparatus, power supply, automatic micropipet and tips, balance, microwave or hot plate, white light visualization system to conduct the experiment.
