Samples of plasmid (pBR322) will be provided, precut with two restriction enzymes, along with a sample of a high-range DNA ladder to enable students to identify the fragments on their finished gel.
Each gel has enough wells to be used by two groups of students.
The gels take only 10 minutes to run, and the whole process can be completed in one period. However, we do recommend that you take two periods to use this equipment - one period discussing the technology and familiarising the students with the equipment and the protocols and a second period to run the gels.
