DNA Fingerprinting Electrophoresis Lab Activity

DNA fingerprinting is one of the strongest forms of evidence in forensic investigations. In this activity students will perform agarose gel electrophoresis on four DNA samples to determine if DNA from suspects matches that of DNA found at a crime scene. Students will also learn about restriction enzymes and the importance of these enzymes in the DNA fingerprinting process. The kit contains enough materials for 8 groups and includes a Teacher’s Guide and Student Study copymasters.

Kit Includes:

• 200mL Prepared Agarose, 0.8% Solution
• 500mL Tris-Borate-EDTA Buffer, 5X
• 60mL DNA Stain, 20X
• 10ug Crime Scene DNA
• 10ug Victim DNA
• 10ug Suspect #1 DNA
• 10ug Suspect #2 DNA

Safe handling and storage procedures are printed directly on each bottle. The Curated Chemical Collection by Innovating Science is comprised of high quality chemical products that manufactured in the United States.
