ADVANCING STUDENT DISCOVERY
Back to school with exciting hands-on laboratory experiences!

Coming soon! The Virus Detection and Transmission Kit
Use one of four
included scenarios
to engage students and
highlight viral biology,
Evaluate patient Analyze patient Unravel the pathophysiology, molecular
symptoms swab samples transmission mystery diagnostic techniques,
and epidemiology.
A patient stumbles into a hospital with severe symptoms associated with a newly
emerging virus. Doctors diagnose the infection while public health officials track down others
who might be infected. They determine that the individual was previously at a restaurant, but
how did the virus spread?
Based on published viral transmission cases studies, this activity puts your students into the roles
of clinical laboratory scientist, pathologist, and epidemiologist as they analyze patient samples
and use patient information to determine how a novel virus strain spread through a restaurant.

Pandemic Relevance — antibodies as a surveillance tool!
Are your students intrigued by COVID-19 diagnosis?
Or, are they exhausted with that topic and would prefer to learn
more about HIV, ebola, or any number of bacterial or viral diseases?
The highly versatile ELISA Immuno Explorer Kit lets you choose
a scenario your students care about as they use real antibodies
to identify patient zero. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
(ELISA) is a powerful antibody-based biodetection tool used to
hunt pathogens. Teach about the immune system and the unique
properties of antibodies, which have revolutionized medicine,
epidemiology, and life science research. These topics have never
been more relevant to students’ lives.

Topics in PCR.
The use of real-time PCR in research and
diagnostics is accelerating, as it offers a streamlined,
sensitive approach to determining levels of pathogens in
tissues and in wastewater, detecting aneuploidies, diagnosing
other genetic diseases, and monitoring microbial contaminants
in environmental samples, among many other applications.
Teaching students this robust technology prepares them
for a future in all areas of life science — basic research,
biotechnology, medicine, food analysis, diagnostics, and more.
