Description
Great ideas stem from inquiry! Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are essential to each other in order to develop products to meet our needs. In fact, it is difficult to separate each of these disciplines from one another when teaching real-world applications. The STEM electrophoresis kit is a unique introductory electrophoresis laboratory with true integration of STEM through the assembly of a horizontal agarose gel electrophoresis cell. Perform actual dye electrophoresis using the STEM electrophoresis kit with the inquiry dye electrophoresis activity kit.
Features and Benefits
• Inquiry-based hands-on laboratory
• Kit can be completed in two 45-min laboratory sessions
