The kit is incredibly well organized and truly self-contained; we had everything we needed to do an actual molecular biology experiment! The students said it was their favorite activity of the year.

Debbie GrangerDurham Public Schools Biology Teacher

My Genetics & Biotechnology students were able to complete all labs at home using 100% miniPCR products. All reagents were geared to ease of use and the supporting materials, slides, and “how-to” videos made the entire process go smoothly. I will ONLY buy from miniPCR going forward!
