Fish DNA Barcoding Kit
Biotechnology—Bio-Rad PCR and
Real-Time PCR Kits
DNA Barcoding Kits
With these kits, students determine the species of fish, mammals, insects, or fungi based
on the DNA sequence of a standard reference gene or internal transcribed spacer. Students
extract DNA, amplify the gene by PCR, verify PCR products by agarose gel electrophoresis,
sequence the gene, and then use the sequence obtained and bioinformatics to identify the
species. The unique sequence produced for a given sample is considered to be its DNA
barcode.
Sequencing service is not included but refill modules are available. Each kit includes
reagents and consumables for extraction and PCR amplification of up to 16 DNA and control
samples (8 student workstations, 2 samples per workstation, 2–4 students per workstation).
See website for cost-saving bundles with electrophoresis reagents.

PV92 PCR Informatics Kit
Students use real-world forensic techniques to extract DNA from their hair follicles or cheek
cells, and then use PCR amplification and electrophoresis to fingerprint their own DNA at a
specific genetic locus. Using their results, they test the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium theory
within their classroom population, then go online to compare their classroom results to
genetic data of populations worldwide.
Kit includes positive controls, PCR master mix, primers, extraction matrix, Fast Blast DNA
stain, test tubes/holders, curriculum, and more for 32 students. PV92 PCR Kit TS (1662119EDU)
and RT (1662139EDU) Refill Packs are available. See website for cost-saving bundles with
electrophoresis reagents.

Crime Scene Investigator PCR Basics Kit
Students become crime scene investigators as they conduct real-world forensic DNA
analyses. Using PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis, they analyze the provided DNA samples
— from a hypothetical crime scene and suspects — to learn how DNA profiling can distinguish
one person from another. This powerful tool assists in investigations of crime scenes, missing
persons, mass disasters, immigration disputes, and even paternity testing.
Use the real-time PCR version of this kit (1662660EDU) as a starting point to become familiar
with qPCR techniques using premade DNA samples and activities that examine factors that
impact sensitivity and accuracy.
Kit includes crime scene and suspect samples, PCR master mix, primers, allele ladder,
test tubes, curriculum, and more for 32 students. See website for cost-saving bundles with
electrophoresis reagents.

GMO Investigator Kit
Students engage in a complete investigation in which they gather sample food items from the
grocery store, extract DNA from the samples, amplify the DNA using polymerase chain reaction
(PCR), and use agarose gel electrophoresis to test for the presence of two DNA sequences
that are present in >85% of genetically modified (GM) crops.
Use the real-time PCR version of this kit to quantitate and determine what fraction of the
food product is made with genetically modified ingredients, in the same manner as standard
testing laboratories do.
Kit includes positive control, InstaGene matrix, master mix, primers, dye, test tubes/holders,
curriculum, and more for 32 students. See website for cost-saving bundles with electrophoresis
reagents.
