Cat. #130 DNA Fingerprinting by PCR Amplification

Cat. #190 Forensic Escape Room: Design Your Own Biotech Adventure

For 8 Gels/8 Lab Groups. Forensic DNA fingerprint- ing has become a universally accepted crime- fighting tool. Recent advances use the polymerase

For 10 Lab Groups. Explore the world of forensic science with this fun and exciting crime scene es- cape room! In this investigation, students decipher clues, solve puzzles, and unravel the evidence to free the innocent. Hands-on techniques include

chain reaction (PCR) to amplify human DNA obtained from crime scenes. This experiment is based on a crime scene scenario and has an inquiry-based compo- nent as well.

forensic blood detection, blood typing, and DNA fingerprinting. Comprehensive instructions on how to set up an escape room are included.

• Students analyze evidence using real-world forensic science techniques, like DNA analysis and blood typing, to prove a suspect’s innocence in this immersive scenario. • Students gain experience with biotechnology skills, including micropipet- ting, blood typing, and agarose gel electrophoresis. • The sequence of experiments supports critical thinking, collaboration, and application of scientific practices, such as data collection and analysis, in a way that aligns with NGSS high school life science performance expecta- tions.

ALSO Available: Full Experiment featuring SYBR® Safe DNA Stain DNA Samples Only in QuickStrips™ for 8 gels DNA Samples Only in Microtest Tubes for 24 gels

Cat. #130-S Cat. #130-A Cat. #130-C

Cat. #109 DNA Fingerprinting by Restriction Enzyme Patterns

Visit the FORENSICS Section of our online Learning Center where you can access many FREE resources!

For 8 Gels/8 Lab Groups. Basic concepts of DNA fingerprinting are featured in this lab by comparing crime scene DNA with suspect DNAs. Fingerprint patterns are separated by agarose gel electropho- resis and the students determine who may have done it!
