HELINI Transformation Teaching kit (Green Fluorescent Plasmid)

HELINI Transformation Teaching kit (Blue/White colony selection)

DescriptionBacterial transformation is of central

importance in molecular biology. It allows

for the propagation, genetic expression

and isolation of recombinant DNA

plasmids that have been constructed in

vitro as well as natural DNA molecules.

Transformation is also of historical

importance since the discovery, by Avery

in the late 1940's, that DNA was the

genetic material. The transformation

process involves the uptake of exogenous

DNA by cells which results in a newly

acquired genetic trait that is stable and

heritable. Bacterial cells must be in a

particular physiological state before they

can be transformed. This state is referred

to as competency.

Lane 1 & 3 : QuickRef 250bp DNA LadderLane 2: Amplified 500bp DNA

DescriptionThe polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a DNA amplification technique that has revolutionized almost all aspects of biological research. The PCR technique was invented in 1984 by Dr. Kary Mullis while at Cetus Corporation. Mullis was awarded a Nobel Prize for his work in 1994. PCR allows for the amplification of a small quantity of DNA over one million-fold. The enormous utility of PCR is based on its procedural simplicity and specificity. Since the first application of PCR to diagnose sickle cell anemia, a large number of diagnostic tests have been developed. Many such diagnostic tests have now become routine. PCR has also made the amplification of DNA an alternate approach to cloning experi- ments. PCR is also used extensively in forensics, paternity / kinship testing, and the identi fication of human remains.

HELINI Genomic DNA extraction Teaching kit

DescriptionThe isolation of high molecular weight

chromosomal DNA is often the first step in

molecular cloning. Large DNA is very

sensitive to mechanical shear which

causes random breaks in the phosphate

bonds of the molecule. However, if the

extraction procedure is performed

carefully, large fragments of chromosomal

DNA can be obtained with an average

fragment length of 100,000 to 200,000

base pairs. Since the average length of a

gene is about 2,000 base pairs, there is a

high probability that genes of interest will

remain unbroken in the fragments of DNA.

In subsequent steps, specific genes can

be cloned.

DescriptionThe majority of specialized recombinant

DNA molecules used in biotechnology

have been constructed by sub cloning

procedures. Several hundred vectors

have been designed to meet specific

needs in molecular biology and biomedi-

cal research.

This experiment involves three distinct

experimental modules. They are: 1)

Digestion of Plasmids vector 2) the

ligation of a GFP gene in a plasmids

vector; 3) introduction of the recombinant

DNA into E. coli cells by transformation

and selection of GFP transformants.

DescriptionIn addition to chromosomal DNA, a

bacterium may also carry an additional

piece of DNA called a plasmid. Bacterial

plasmids are a double stranded closed

circular DNA molecule that ranges in size

form 1 kb to more than 200 kb. Plasmids

are useful to bacterial cells since they

carry genes for antibody resistance that

allow bacteria to survive in non-ideal

conditions.

nucleotide sequence from chromosome 8

to look for an insertion of a short DNA

sequence called Alu within the tissue

plasminogen activator (TPA) gene.

Although the DNA from different

individuals is more alike than different,

there are many regions of the human

chromosomes that exhibit a great deal of

diversity. Such variable sequences are

termed "polymorphic" (meaning many

forms) and provide the basis for genetic

disease diagnosis, forensic identification,

and paternity testing.

DescriptionMultiplex PCR is a variant of PCR which

enabling simultaneous amplification of

many targets of interest in one reaction by

using more than one pair of primers. Since

its first description in 1988 by Chamber-

lain et al, this method has been applied in

many areas of DNA testing, including

analyses of deletions, mutations, and

polymorphism, or quantitative assays and

reverse transcription PCR.

Typically, it is used for genotyping applica-

tions where simultaneous analysis of

multiple markers is required, detection of

pathogens or genetically modified

organisms (GMOs), or for microsatellite

RNA EXTRACTION TEACHING KITSRNA EXTRACTION TEACHING KITS

HELINI Total RNA extraction Teaching kit

Description

RNA is a biological macromolecule that

serves a number of different functions.

Since RNA is able to perform functions

usually associated with DNA and proteins,

it has been suggested that RNA was the

original biological molecule, with

subsequent evolution of DNA and

proteins.

In molecular biology, reverse transcription

polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is a

laboratory technique for amplifying a

defined piece of a ribonucleic acid (RNA)

molecule. The RNA strand is first reverse

transcribed into its DNA complement or

complementary DNA, followed by

amplification of the resulting DNA using

polymerase chain reaction. This can

either be a 1 or 2 step process.

Reverse transcription polymerase chain

reaction is widely used in the diagnosis of

genetic diseases and, quantitatively, in

the determination of the abundance of

specific different RNA molecules within a

cell or tissue as a measure of gene

expression. Northern blot is used to study

the RNA's gene expression further.

This kit demonstrate the complete

protocol starting from extraction from total

RNA , cDNA synthesis by Reverse

Transcrip- tase PCR and using gene

Description

RNA is a biological macromolecule that

serves a number of different functions.

Messenger RNA (mRNA), transcribed

from DNA, serves as a template for

synthesis of proteins. Protein synthesis is

carried out by ribosomes, which consist of

ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins.

Amino acids for protein synthesis are

delivered to the ribosome on transfer RNA

(tRNA) molecules. RNAs are also part of

riboproteins involved in RNA processing.

In addition, many viruses contain RNA as

their genome instead of DNA, and RNA

species called ribozymes catalyze

biochemical reactions, similar to

enzymes. Since RNA is able to perform

functions usually associated with DNA

and proteins, it has been suggested that

RNA was the original biological molecule,

with subsequent evolution of DNA and

proteins.

Analyzing RNA is an important event in

Molecular Biology and this kit describes

procedures for successful stabilization,

purification, and analysis of RNA.

DescriptionMost biological molecules have a net

charge within a pH range of 2 to 10. When

the pH is altered, the net charge on

molecules can change drastically. In this

experiment, proteins are absorbed onto a

charged solid support ion-exchange

column and subsequently separated

during elution under conditions that

influence their net charge. Ion exchange

chromatography utilizes a solid support

(adsorbent) which contains either a

permanent positive (cation) or negative

(anion) charge. The separation of

compounds is based on equilibrium of the

molecules adsorbed to the exchanger

versus the elution solvent. This allows the

separation of molecules with small

DescriptionEgg yolk provides the growing chick with

nutrients and maternal antibodies. Egg

yolk antibodies (Immunoglobulin Y) are

easily isolatd using precipitation methods.

Chicken eggs are a preferable source of

antibodies as the antibodies are found in

concentrations comparable to the

concentration in chicken blood, and

isolating the antibodies does not require

venipuncture.

HELINI Immunoprecipitation Teaching kit

DescriptionImmunoprecip i ta t ion ( IP) is the

technique of precipitating an antigen out

of solution using an antibody specific to

that antigen. The “precipitation” is caused

by an immunoglobulin binding protein,

such as protein A or protein G,

immobilized to a solid support or bead.

The protein A or G binds the antibody-

antigen complex and the complex is

precipitated and removed from the

solution by spinning down the beads.
