Cat. #381 Break Through! Testing DNA Damage Using Quantitative PCR

For 4 Groups. The integrity and stability of DNA is essential to life. However, everyday this molecule is under assault from environmental stressors like UV radiation, mutagenic chemicals, and even normal metabolic processes. In this guided inquiry lab students will use the cutting edge technology of QPCR to investigate and quantify DNA damage due to physical (UV radiation) or chemical (DNAseI) disruptions. By designing and performing the experiments students will master advanced analytical and technical skills as well as deepen their understanding of key molecular biology and medical concepts. This kit must be used with a RT (qPCR) Thermal Cycler.

DNA Damage - 45 min. qPCR Setup 45 min. qPCR - 90 min. Electrophoresis - 60 min. Staining - 5 min. to overnight Analysis - 45 min.
