Kit: Forensic DNA Fingerprinting (crime scene)

Function and Applications

This set allows to simulate the method of DNA-Fingerprinting and uses a DNA fingerprint to identify the offender in a hypothetical crime. After separation of given DNA (set includes DNA samples of suspects and offender, no real human DNA) by using gel electrophoresis and staining the DNA samples the students can compare the pattern of fragments on the gel with other DNA samples and match the DNA to the offender.

Benefits

• Complete equipment set: contains all needed chemicals
• Ready to use: DNA samples are already predigested
• Easy to use: detailed experiment information
• DNA samples can be stored for a longer period because they are lyophilized
