A DNA lab at home
The popularity of DNA technology has been increasing at an overwhelming pace during the last few years, most likely due to the advances of medicine and biotechnology (recall gene therapy, genetically modified food and so on) and of course, thanks to TV serials such as CSI and others. Applications of DNA science such as paternity testing, genealogical research and even DNA-based baby gender prediction are also becoming very popular. But, if you think this is not at all surprising how about this: Discovery Channel has developed and launched the Discovery DNA Explorer Kit. A true DNA lab for true home-based rocket science.
With this amazing science kit you can extract, view and map real DNA in the same way forensic scientists do at actual DNA labs.
Working lab and tools are just like the real thing. Includes all the supplies needed for six fascinating DNA experiments:
- Centrifuge
- Magnetic mixer
- Electrophoresis chamber
- Test vials
- Ink samples
- DNA stain (fabricated to mimic real DNA)
This incredible product, unimaginable only a few years ago is a sure bet when choosing a gift for science-lover kids and teens. Adults will love this too! The DNA Explorer kit is the Winner of the Parents’ Choice Gold Award, Learning® Magazine’s Teachers’ Choice Award and named to Popular Science’s Best of What’s New List.
