DNA and Biotechnology
Genes in a Bottle kit
● Students gain practical knowledge by
conducting a real world procedure
that is used to extract DNA from
many different organisms, for a
variety of applications
● Extract genomic DNA from their own
cheek cells and watch it precipitate
from solution as floating white
strands
● The DNA strands are then easily
collected and transferred to a glass
vial, and the vial is fashioned into a
necklace
● Each kit supports 36 students

PV92 PCR* Informatics kit
● What pair of genes are you wearing?
● The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR*)
is widely used in forensics, diagnostics
and archaeological applications and
represents the cutting edge in life
science education
● Students use forensic DNA extraction
techniques, PCR* amplification and
electrophoresis to analyse their own
DNA
● DNA extracted from hair follicles or
cheek cells is typed at a specific
genetic locus

GMO Investigator™ kit
● Students engage in a complete
investigation in which they gather
sample food items from the
supermarket, extract DNA from the
samples and amplify the DNA using
PCR* and gel electrophoresis to
identify the presence or absence of
amplified GMO sequences
● Students conduct sophisticated
scientific procedures that have
multiple levels of controls and allow
them to assess the validity of their
results
● Each kit supports 32 students in
groups of 2 to 4
● Complete in three, 45 minute class
sessions
● Store at -20 or 4°C as indicated
