How can you decide when your engineered bacteria activate? With the Induce-it Kit, you can manually control gene expression!

Discover the Induce-it Kit, a biology education kit that lets you practice inducing (turning on) gene expression with a chemical. Create petri dishes, streak, incubate, and perform a bacterial transformation using the DNA included in the kit. Once your cells are ready, amplify your culture and add your IPTG inducer! Choose which cells you want to ‘turn on’ by adding the inducer chemical only to certain area(s) of your petri dish. 

This is an all-in-one STEM project kit with no prior experience required, though completing the Canvas kit and the Engineer-it Kit can be helpful and is suggested. A perfect step in your journey exploring the world of biotechnology, biohacking & genetic engineering. Compatible with Ch. 7 of the Zero to Genetic Engineering Hero book to learn what genes are, how to control them manually using genetic switches, and how to use them in biotechnology, synthetic biology, and for your science fair projects.
