Nobel Prize Winning Science in Your Classroom!
The invention of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) radically changed biology. The technique was considered so important that the Nobel Prize was awarded to its inventor, Dr. Kary Mullis, in 1993. Thanks to this technique, very small samples of DNA (from as little as a single cell) can be analyzed. PCR works by making billions of copies of DNA in just a few hours. PCR is now routinely used in forensic investigations, infectious disease testing and screening for genetic disease.
In this section, you will find kits to teach PCR to suit all student abili - ties and all budgets. With our Ready-to-Load™ kits, you can dem- onstrate the concept of PCR without using a thermal cycler! Your students can even try amplifying their own DNA. We have also re-designed our EdvoCycler™ and introduced the EdvoCycler™ Jr, affordable PCR machines for the classroom! Give your students the opportunity to perform this Nobel Prize winning technique!
