DNA Fingerprinting Electrophoresis Lab Activity (Product Code: SLE/CH/119) is a forensic biotechnology kit used to run agarose gel electrophoresis on four DNA samples and decide whether a suspect's DNA matches DNA found at a crime scene, in school and college labs. It serves 8 groups, includes a Teacher’s Guide and Student Study copymasters, and also teaches how restriction enzymes make DNA fingerprinting possible. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as a gel electrophoresis kit for classrooms in India and abroad.

It puts students in the role of forensic analysts. The prepared 0.8% agarose solution is melted and poured into a casting tray with a comb to form wells, and the 5X Tris-Borate-EDTA concentrate is diluted to running strength as the Teacher’s Guide describes. Each group loads the crime scene, victim and two suspect samples into neighbouring wells and runs the gel; after staining, the fragments show as bands, and students compare each suspect's pattern with the crime-scene pattern to reach a conclusion.
Along the way, learners see how restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific sequences, why the resulting fragment patterns differ between individuals, and how evidence should be interpreted responsibly. The contents list does not include a gel tank, a power supply or a micropipette, so arrange these before the lesson. Wear gloves when handling gels and stain, and follow the disposal guidance provided; as a biotechnology lab kit in India it links neatly to forensic science topics.
This activity is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India, and sources reagent-based teaching kits for schools, colleges and distributors.

What does the DNA Fingerprinting Electrophoresis Lab Activity contain?
The DNA Fingerprinting Electrophoresis Lab Activity contains four 10 µg DNA samples (crime scene, victim, suspect #1 and suspect #2), 200 mL prepared agarose 0.8% solution, 500 mL Tris-Borate-EDTA buffer 5X, 60 mL DNA stain, a Teacher’s Guide and Student Study copymasters.
How many groups can it serve?
The DNA Fingerprinting Electrophoresis Lab Activity has enough materials for 8 groups, so a class can be split into small teams, each loading and running its own set of crime scene, victim and suspect samples.
Is the electrophoresis equipment included?
No. The DNA Fingerprinting Electrophoresis Lab Activity covers samples, gel, buffer, stain and printed guides; a gel tank, power supply and micropipette are not in its contents list and must be arranged separately or quoted with the kit.
How is the 5X buffer used?
The Tris-Borate-EDTA buffer in the DNA Fingerprinting Electrophoresis Lab Activity is a 5X concentrate. Dilute it to running strength as the Teacher’s Guide describes before casting the gels and filling the tank.
What is the shelf life of the DNA samples and reagents?
The shelf life of the DNA Fingerprinting Electrophoresis Lab Activity depends on the reagents and samples, their grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted and follow the storage instructions supplied with the kit.
Who supplies the DNA Fingerprinting Electrophoresis Lab Activity?
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab in Ambala, Haryana, India, supplies the DNA Fingerprinting Electrophoresis Lab Activity to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets, and can quote gel tanks and power supplies alongside it.
What should an institutional quotation request include?
For the DNA Fingerprinting Electrophoresis Lab Activity, give the product code SLE/CH/119, the number of kits, whether you also need tanks, power supplies or pipette tips, and your delivery location in India or abroad.
