DNA Fingerprinting Using PCR for 25 Students Working in 5 Groups

Description

Give your students the opportunity to carry out PCR in the classroom! This kit provides easy to follow instructions for your students to develop various crime scene scenarios independently. Plasmid DNA, when amplified by PCR, provides products that represent individual DNA profiles. Your students can then solve a crime!
