Cat. #922 Follow That Flush: Using Biotechnology to Stop Outbreaks
For 8 Gels. Wastewater testing is a public health tool that helps scientists track specific diseases in a community. In this experiment, students use electrophoresis to test simu- lated water samples for bacteria and viruses. By learning how wastewater monitoring works, students see how biotechnology helps protect public health.
• Students simulate real-world disease surveillance by analyzing wastewater for Norovirus and E. coli using gel electrophoresis. • Hands-on use of core biotech tools to detect and identify patho- gens in simulated water samples. • Demonstrates how wastewater testing gives early warnings of outbreaks and informs public health responses.
Also available with SYBR® Safe DNA Stain! Cat. #922-S
Cat. #S-68 What is an Epidemic and How Does An Infection Spread?
For 10 Groups. Infectious agents such as bacteria & viruses can spread rapidly through a population and cause widespread disease and death. In this experiment, your students will use colored solu- tions to simulate the spreading of a disease in the classroom. • Explore how bacteria & viruses spread through a population • Use clear solutions and a color-changing indicator to model a classroom infection • Record potential infection events and practice contract tracing • Discuss different types of infections and different detection tech- niques

For 25 Students. In this kit, students will transmit a simulated infectious agent (chemical dye) between classmates. The simulated infectious agent is only visible under long-wave UV light. The pattern of transmission and primary source will be documented. NGSS-aligned with MS-LS2.C Cat. #166 Detection of a Simulated Infectious Agent
For 10 Groups. Your body defends itself from attack by infectious agents like bacteria & viruses by pro- ducing antibodies. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISA) test for antibodies present in the blood, which indicate infection. In this kit, students perform a simulated ELISA test to identify infected samples & compare them to control samples. Cat. #S-70 How Does a Doctor Test for AIDS?
