EDVOTEK DNA Paternity Testing Simulation Kit

Product Code : SCL-BLE-11999

*Please Note: This is a simulated Paternity Testing Kit for use in education.  It is not suitable for diagnostic or clinical use*

This experiment introduces students to the use of DNA fingerprinting in a simulated paternity determination. A child's DNA fingerprint is compared with his parents. The experiment does not contain human DNA.

• Group Size: 8 gels / lab groups
• Storage: Stable at room temperature, storage of Ready-To-Load QuickStrip™ samples in the refrigerator is recommended
