EcoRI/PstI Restriction Enzyme Mix

Real-world forensics — open the door to rich discussions about the scientific, ethical, and legal implications of forensics, DNA profiling, and genetic engineering Uses real DNA — the DNA samples provided are engineered to mimic the natural variations in DNA that exist between one human being and another Fast results — after restriction digestion, separate the fragments in as little as 10 minutes Optional sizing activity — guide students through the construction of a standard curve using their own gel data, then challenge them to apply their math skills and use their standard curve to estimate the molecular weights of the fragments generated by different restriction enzymes Finish all activities in two 45-minute class periods Consumable reagents kit includes DNA samples, DNA standard, restriction enzyme mix, sample buffer, and sterile water; for educational use only
