ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:


NGSS-aligned with MS-LS1.

This simulation experiment demonstrates the process of DNA amplification by PCR and how the amplified product is detected by separating the reaction mixture by agarose gel electrophoresis.

• Learn the biology behind polymerase chain reactions (PCR) and gel electrophoresis
• Explore the relationship between PCR cycle number and amplified DNA quantities
• Perform agarose gel electrophoresis to separate different sized dye molecules
• Load, run, and analyze simulated DNA samples to observe size and concentration differences
