Forensic DNA fingerprinting has become a universally accepted crime-fighting tool. Recent advances use the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify human DNA obtained from crime scenes. This experiment, based on a crime scene scenario, has an inquiry-based component. Kit includes: instructions, Ready-to-Load DNA samples, UltraSpec-Agarose powder, practice gel loading solution, electrophoresis buffer, InstaStain Blue and FlashBlue stain, calibrated pipet, 100 ml graduated cylinder, and microtipped transfer pipettes. All you need: electrophoresis apparatus, power supply, automatic micropipet and tips, balance, microwave or hot plate, visualization system. DNA samples are stable at room temperature. However, if the experiment will not be conducted within one month of receipt, it is recommended that the DNA samples be stored in the refrigerator. DNA samples do not require heating prior to gel loading. Ready-to-Load DNA samples for electrophoresis: A: DNA Standard marker, B: Crime scene PCR reaction, C: Suspect 1 PCR reaction, D: Suspect 2 PCR reaction, E: Suspect 3 PCR reaction.
