BACTERIAL TRANSFORMATION KIT | ||||
Safety guidelines for practical work with microbes in schools | ||||
A safe practical demonstration of genetic modification, with scope for open-ended investigations. Includes a linked role-play, allowing students to examine some of the safety, ethical and environmental issues associated with such work. The first European transformation kit designed especially for educational use. | ||||
