The hardware provided is: 2 power packs, 2 micro centrifuges (with adaptor tubes), 8 x 2-20µl pipettes, 8 gel casting trays, 8 gel combs (8 teeth), 8 gel combs (16 teeth). A further 12 micropipettes are available either as a separate item or in addition to the items listed above (BioHit, Proline: 2-20µl).
The kit is ideal for preparing and running agarose gels. These gels may then be used in gel electrophoresis to visualise the products of DNA restriction digestion or the polymerase chain reaction.
The PCR machine may also be borrowed to demonstrate the polymerase chain reaction in a school setting.
