Carolina Biological Exploring Restriction Analysis and Electrophoresis of DNA Kits

Students set up their own restriction digests of lambda DNA with BamHI, EcoRI and HindIII using Instant DNA and Instant Enzymes.  They then separate the resulting DNA fragments by electrophoresis.  Gels can be run in 3.5 hours using three 9V batteries or overnight with one battery.  Apparatus and materials are included.

Apparatus consists of a gel chamber and comb, micro-pipettes and connecting cables.

Materials included are:

  • Agarose and concentrated TBE buffer

  • Lambda DNA samples and Restriction Enzymes.

  • CarolinaBLU™ DNA stain

  • Pipette tips.

  • Carbon fibre electrodes.
