Diagnosing Gene Defects
Product Code : JA-EE-6842
The Diagnosing Gene Defects kit (SKU JA-EE-6842) is a sickle cell electrophoresis kit for class use in which students examine the genetic mutation responsible for sickle-cell anaemia. Working with a non-human DNA sample, they use agarose gel electrophoresis to look for the change behind this hereditary blood disorder, and learn how genes work and how a mutation that alters haemoglobin can cause disease. The kit is sized for a class of 40 students and is supplied by JaincoLab.
Specifications
The kit covers a sickle-cell anaemia investigation by agarose gel electrophoresis using a non-human DNA sample, for a class of 40 students; the itemised contents are not in the product data and are confirmed on the quotation.
