ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:


In this experiment, students will take on the role of transplant physicians. They will analyze simulated blood samples for transplant compatibility and compare genetic markers to identify which donor is the best match for a leukemia patient in need of a stem cell transplant.

• Students will analyze simulated blood samples using real world techniques utilized in biomedical labs
• Learn to count white blood cells using a hemocytometer
• Perform blood compatibility tests to reveal information about donor blood samples
• Determine who is the best candidate to donate stem cells to patient in need
