Electrophoresis Forensics Lab: Wrongfully Convicted?

J.M. was convicted of a crime and is currently incarcerated but has always maintained his innocence. Students will use gel electrophoresis to analyze DNA samples from J.M.'s case to see if the new DNA evidence supports the original conviction. Exciting experiment to show how genetic fingerprinting is used in forensics Ready to use: DNA samples are already prestained Little preparation time for teachers Easy to perform in a school lesson for 8 student groups Easy to use: detailed experiment information For 8 lab groups workstations Includes: DNA of victim, 120 µl DNA of suspect, 120 µl DNA evidence sample no. 1, 120 µl DNA evidence sample no. 2, 120 µl Manual Transport at room temperature, storage under -18°C. Use within 1 year. TESS advanced Biology set Molecular Biology (15312-88) When used with the blueGel electrophoresis system 35017-99 (is also included in the Student set Genetics 15312-88), a TBE buffer is also required (e.g. 35018-73).
