Description
Thanks to the dramatic color change and ampicillin, students clearly see the results of introducing new genes into live bacteria
- Great for teaching the molecular basis of inheritance
- Simple, straightforward procedure
- Minimizes teacher prep time
Designed to match traditional AP® Biology Lab 6. Students use specially developed pBLU® plasmid in a colony transformation procedure to observe the phenotypic effect of inserting new genes into living bacteria. Transformants appear as white colonies on the ampicillin medium and as dramatically blue colonies on the ampicillin/X-gal medium. The Teacher Demonstration Kit includes enough materials for 1 demonstration. Includes voucher to request perishable materials later at your convenience.
