Introducing miniPCR Digital Labs
Science education is at its best when it’s hands-on, but what if your classroom doesn’t have access to a lab? Or what if you’re learning from home? That’s why we’re so excited to introduce miniPCR Digital, our new interactive learning platform that brings the thrill of discovery to your fingertips.
With miniPCR Digital Labs, students can dive into the fascinating world of molecular biology through immersive simulations that mirror real lab techniques. From mastering PCR to analyzing DNA gel electrophoresis, this digital tool lets students explore, experiment, and learn in a risk-free environment. Each lab is designed to spark curiosity while building the critical-thinking skills at the heart of science.
What makes miniPCR Digital Labs different? For starters, we’ve combined authentic science techniques with engaging narrative-driven experiences. Students don’t just run experiments—they solve mysteries, analyze evidence, and uncover stories that make the science meaningful. It’s not just education; it’s an adventure.
Choose from these available Digital Labs:
- Microbe Hunters: In this FREE lab simulation, students use gel electrophoresis to search for a dangerous bacterial pathogen aboard the ISS.
- PTC Taster Digital Lab: Explore how genotype links to phenotype in this hands-on lab, featuring a full suite of biotech tools—from PCR to restriction digest and gel electrophoresis.
- Central Dogma Digital Lab: Dive into the world of transcription and translation! Use fluorescence to uncover how cells decode DNA into proteins.
