Students check water for contaminants using PCR-based testing.
- Kit Uses Nonhazardous Microorganisms
- Students Practice Lab Procedures
- Instructions Included
- PCR Used in a Multiplexed Format
- Material for Ten Labs with 20 Students Each
Students perform screening procedures for waterborne bacteria in drinking water. Using a single PCR reaction, they test for the presence of three separate and classroom-safe microorganisms.
The kit has enough material for ten experiments with 20 students.
