Description
Specifications
  • Some foods contain raw materials from genetically modified organisms (GMO)
  • Examples include tofu, corn flakes and corn meal
  • In this Identification of Genetically Modified Food Kit, your students will extract DNA from food or plant material and perform PCR to determine if any GM indicator genes are present
  • Amplified DNA is separated and sized by agarose gel electrophoresis
  • Group Size: for 10 lab groups
  • Storage: some components require freezer storage upon receipt
  • Time Required: Extraction ‐ 45 minutes, PCR set‐up ‐ 10 minutes, PCR ‐ 2hours, Electrophoresis ‐ 60mins, Staining ‐ 5 minutesThe kit includes:Full Instructions
