ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
Cat. #962 Identification of Genetically Modified Foods Using PCR
For 10 Groups. Some foods contain raw materials from genetically modified organisms (GMO). Examples include tofu, corn flakes and corn meal. In this experiment, 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. Requires 1 to 3 day shipping.
Extraction 45 min. PCR Set Up 10 min. PCR 2 hrs. to overnight Electrophoresis 60 min. Staining 5 min.
Storage: Some Components Require Freezer Storage Upon Receipt. CLICK HERE For Experiment #962 Components and Requirements.
Cat. #121 Detection of Genetically Modified Organisms
For 8 Gels/8 Lab Groups. For centuries, humans have used selective breeding and conventional hybridization to produce desirable qualities and to increase crop yields. Today, scientists use genetic engineering to directly manipulate the DNA, quickly producing these desirable traits. In this experiment, students will use agarose gel electrophoresis to explore the molecular meth- ods used by scientists to identify genetically modified organisms. No thermal cycler is required. Students are also encouraged to explore the controversy surrounding the use of genetically modified organisms.
Complete in 45 min.
