In this easy PCR experiment, students will make billions of copies of a small amount of DNA in just 90 minutes! They will just need to mix template DNA and primers with PCR beads that contain all of the other components required to carry out a PCR reaction. Students will see the increasing amounts of DNA for themselves, taking samples every few cycles and analysing them on a DNA gel.
