ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

The objective of this experiment is to develop an understanding of Smallpox and the causative agent of the disease. Students will analyze simulated PCR products to confirm or rule out the presence of the Smallpox virus. This experiment does NOT contain smallpox.

•**Includes SYBR® Safe DNA Stain, NOT FlashBlue™ DNA Stain**
• Hands-on simulation of molecular testing for smallpox
• Students learn about smallpox, the variola virus, and the history of vaccines
• Perform agarose gel electrophoresis to separate differently-sized DNA molecules
• Load, run, and analyze Ready-to-LoadT™ PCR reactions to rule out smallpox in two patients following a potential bioterrorism attack
