Experimentation kits, antibiotic sensitivity and bacteria screening
Supplier: G-Biosciences
Antibiotics play a crucial role in the manipulation, screening and killing of bacteria in a range of biotechnology processes. This kit specifically teaches the basic principles of antibiotics, bacterial resistance and susceptibility. Students learn and understand the use of antibiotic resistance in screening for infectious diseases. Utilising a bacterial strain, students learn the effects of different antibiotics and visualise bacterial sensitivity and resistance to the supplied antibiotics. This method involves the use of filter paper discs impregnated with a specified concentration of antibiotics on the surface of an agar plate containing microbial cells. This kit will enable students to analyse the inhibitory effects of different antibiotics on selected bacterial cells and then determine which antibiotic is the most suitable to treat a bacterial infection.

Experimentation kits, exploring biotechnology with green fluorescent protein (GFP)
Supplier: EDVOTEK
Four experimental modules are combined into one experiment to provide a comprehensive biotechnology exploration focusing on the green fluorescent protein (GFP). Bacterial cells are transformed to express the GFP. The transformed cells are then grown and the GFP purified by column chromatography. Finally, the purity of the protein fractions are analysed by SDS polyacrylamide electrophoresis.

Purification and size determination of green and blue fluorescent proteins
Supplier: EDVOTEK
When bacteria are used to make medicinally useful proteins by transformation, the protein of interest must be separated from all of the other cellular proteins. In this experiment, the unique fluorescent properties of GFP and BFP are used as an assay during their purification from an E. coli extract. The column fractions containing GFP or BFP are identified by fluorescence and then purified. As an optional activity, purified protein fractions can be separated by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to estimate the purity and size of the GFP and BFP proteins.

Experimentation kits, molecular weight determination of proteins (agarose-based)
Supplier: EDVOTEK
This experiment introduces a simple method to determine protein subunit molecular weights using horizontal electrophoresis. As the protein standards and 'unknowns' are prestained, the separation of proteins can be observed during electrophoresis. Included in the experiment is protein-grade agarose, which provides an alternative to the use of polyacrylamide gels.

Experimentation kits, antigen-antibody interactions
Supplier: G-Biosciences
This lab activity is designed to study highly specific lock-key matching properties of antigen-antibody and how this highly specific interaction can be exploited as a tool for research and analysis. This study involves the use of an immunodiffusion technique in which antigen and antibody are allowed to diffuse in a solid agarose medium. When antigen and antibody meet, antigen-antibody complex is formed, which leads to precipitation. Antigen-antibody precipitate is formed in the zone where the concentration of the two matching pairs reaches an optimal known as the zone of equivalence, which results in formation of a visible opaque precipitate region in agarose medium. Those regions of precipitation can be used for determination of concentration or titer of both antigen and antibody. This Antigen-Antibody Interaction kit is a hands-on study of both Ouchterlony Double Diffusion and Radial Immunodiffusion techniques. This kit also provides additional guidance materials for teaching other types of antigen-antibody interactions concepts such as immunoelectrophoresis and immunoprecipitation.

Experimentation kits, ion exchange chromatography
Supplier: EDVOTEK
Most 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, a mixture of two chemicals is absorbed onto a solid support ion-exchange column and separated during elution under conditions that influence their net charge.

Experimentation kits, ion exchange chromatography
Supplier: G-Biosciences
Ion exchange chromatography is used to separate charged molecules from complex biological samples. The charged molecules bind to a solid support carrying an opposite charge to the molecule. Proteins contain regions of charged groups on the surface which interact with the ion exchange groups immobilised on the solid support (resin column). Immobilised proteins are eluted by changing either pH or the salt gradient or a combination of both. This lab activity involves preparation of a crude protein extract and running ion exchange chromatography for isolation of proteins.

Fluor-de-Lys® Deacetylase Substrate
Supplier: ENZO LIFE SCIENCES
Fluor de Lys® Substrate is a highly sensitive and convenient alternative to radiolabeled, acetylated histones or peptide/HPLC methods for the assay of histone deacetylases. The Fluor de Lys® Substrate, which comprises an acetylated lysine side chain, is incubated with a sample containing HDAC activity (nuclear or cellular extract, purified enzyme, bead-bound immunocomplex, etc.). Deacetylation of the substrate sensitizes the substrate so that, in a second step, treatment with the Fluor de Lys® Developer produces a fluorophore. Histone deacetylases from all known classes have been successfully assayed with the Fluor de Lys® Substrate. These include human HDACs 1, 2, 3 and 8 (class I), human HDACs 4 and 9 (class II) and the sirtuins yeast Sir2, human SIRT1 and human SIRT2 (class III; reaction must include the sirtuin substrate NAD+). The substrate is cell-permeable and serves as the basis for the HDAC Cellular Activity Assay Kit (Prod. No. BML-AK503). NOTE: Must be used in conjunction with Fluor de Lys® Developer (Prod. No. BML-KI105). Sufficient for 100-1000 assays of HDACs or sirtuins (50 µl reaction volume, 50-500 µM (substrate).

Experimentation kits, blue/white cloning of a DNA fragment and assay of ß-galactosidase
Supplier: EDVOTEK
When DNA is subcloned in the pUC polylinker region, β-galactosidase production is interrupted, resulting in the inability of cells to hydrolyse X-Gal. This results in the production of white colonies amongst a background of blue colonies. This experiment provides a DNA fragment together with a linear plasmid and T4 DNA ligase. Following the ligation to synthesis the recombinant plasmid, competent E. coli cells are transformed and the number of recombinant antibiotic-resistant white and blue colonies are counted. β-galactosidase activity is assayed from blue and white bacterial cells.
