DNA DuraGel™

DNA Dura Gel™ gels are permanent polymer gels that allow students to practice the critically important skill of pipetting/gel loading. The clear, reusable gels are designed for the practice of loading 5 – 35 µl of samples. The gel grids are imprinted with a ruler for sizing DNA fragments. Also included are simulated FlashBlue™ and Ethidium Bromide gel images, ideal for representing how actual gels are stained with Methylene Blue and Ethidium Bromide.

Students learn how to load an agarose gel using a micropipette or a transfer pipet
Permanent polymer gels let students practice and master this essential skill year after year
Simulate an electrophoresis experiment with matching gel images
Calculate DNA fragment sizes using a linear standard curve
Reasons to Love
Allow students to practice their micropipetting and gel loading skills before using the real thing in the laboratory session.
Learning Outcomes
A-Level Biology – Genetics
Top Tips
Re-useable gels – excellent for micro-pipette practice
