12% of your total order value. In addition, certain chemicals, microbiological specimens,<br />

and activity components classified as hazardous by the D.O.T. may be subject to additional<br />

packing and handling fees. These items may also be limited to certain delivery<br />

methods. If you are unsure about the shipping charges for your order, or need a shipping<br />

Weighing less than<br />

ten pounds, with<br />

reinforced hinges<br />

and Velcro® joints,<br />

this fuming chamber<br />

is sturdy when<br />

assembled, yet<br />

easy to collapse,<br />

transport, and<br />

store. When a<br />

cyanoacrylate<br />

adhesive, like Super Glue, is<br />

heated inside this chamber<br />

with any object containing<br />

prints, the fumes from the<br />

glue react with the residues in<br />

latent prints to produce visible<br />

white marks, which can then<br />

be processed. A special side<br />

port also allows for attaching<br />

exhaust tubes or inserting<br />

fuming wands. Inside dimensions:<br />

12"L x 12"W x 19"H.<br />

Outside dimensions: 14"L x<br />

14"W x 20 1 ⁄2"H. A carrying case<br />

is available separately for added<br />

convenience when trasnporting<br />

the portable unit. Fume chamber<br />

available to U.S. customers<br />

only; similar product will ship elsewhere. Carrying case not<br />

W Fingerprint Identification Using<br />

Magnetic Powder Lab Activity<br />

A Cleaner Method Than Traditional Inks or Powders<br />

Learn how to use magnetic fingerprint powder to lift latent fingerprints and<br />

identify their characteristics. Students will uncover three types of prints left at a<br />

crime scene and lift latent prints using magnetic fingerprint powder. For comparison<br />

they will take a set of their own fingerprints using the traditional ink<br />

technique. Students will also learn about the three basic patterns of fingerprints<br />

and the eight variations that can occur among them. The activity includes<br />

enough materials for 30 students, a teacher’s guide, and a student copymaster.<br />

A Fun and Educational Introduction to Criminalistics<br />

Your students will answer the question “Whodunit?” while learning how to dust and<br />

develop latent fingerprints. They “lift” sets of prints from various surfaces, turning<br />

them over for others to analyze. After comparing the prints to standards developed<br />

by the FBI, and working with “Modus Operandi” worksheets, the class will identify<br />

the suspects. The kit includes instructor’s and assessment guides, student data<br />

sheets, and all materials but the fingerprints for 24 students.<br />

CSIScope: Cordless Dual Purpose<br />

Comparison Microscope<br />

Explore Similarities and Differences in Trace Evidence<br />

The CSIscope combines a standard compound microscope with limited<br />

stereomicroscope capability and the convenience of a cordless model.<br />

Compare and contrast your evidence with this unique microscope. A<br />

single inclined binocular head is attached to two high-quality compound<br />

microscope bodies. By a simple adjustment of a variable position<br />

lever you can view the microscope on the left, the microscope on<br />

the right, or a split/variable view of the right and left microscopes<br />

simultaneously. A 2X objective and separate top light positioned in the<br />

nosepiece works together with a larger working distance, so you can<br />

now view large, macro, or opaque specimens. The paired 10X widefield<br />

eyepieces are mounted on a 360° rotatable Seidentopf-style head for<br />

the best custom fit to your eyes, and there is a diopter adjustment in<br />

one eyepiece. It also features a slip clutch to protect gears, and stage<br />

stops and retractable 40X objective to protect optics and slides. It<br />

includes an instruction manual. 110 VAC with a 5' 8" cord. Overall size:<br />

Vehicle Lamp Examination Kit<br />

The <strong>Forensics</strong> of Traffic Accident Investigation<br />

When attempting to determine the chain of events which occurred in a<br />

vehicular collision, learning the whether the in-car lamps are lighted or<br />

unlighted at time of impact is extremely helpful. Filaments of incandescent<br />

lamps often provide the key, because filaments are made of tungsten<br />

and stresses generated on them by the forces associated with a collision<br />

produce deformation and fracture phenomena with characteristic differences<br />

between hot and cold filaments. Further evidence may also arise if<br />

the glass bulb is broken during the accident. The lamp samples included<br />

with this kit walk students through the procedures of vehicle lamp analysis.<br />

The samples have been broken under various circumstances and allow<br />

students to examine actual evidence. Worksheets included with the kit<br />

will help students report their findings. One unbroken standard car lamp,<br />

a voltmeter, and a detailed PowerPoint lecture exploring the characteristics<br />

associated with lamps involved in accidents are also included.<br />

Gain experience in identifying the characteristics of fired<br />

bullets and shell casings without any safety concerns. Each<br />

ballistic set is a series of four real .45 caliber bullets or shell<br />

casings embedded in a hard resin. Because each bullet is<br />

encapsulated in plastic there is no need to worry about handling<br />

these items in the classroom; they are rendered inert<br />

and unusable. The bullets and shell casings in each set were<br />

fired from three separate guns. In the bullet set, students<br />

will observe the lands and grooves of the bullets, and on the<br />

shell casings set, they will examine the indentation of the firing<br />

pin on the primer and tool marks left from the weapon.<br />

From their observations they will ultimately determine that two of the bullets<br />

(or shell casings) will match, indicating they were fired from the same<br />

gun. Includes an attractive wood stand for display. Size of each embedment:<br />

approximately 1"W x 1 1 ⁄2"H.<br />

A Safe and Practical Method of Introducing<br />

Ballistic Evidence Into Your Classroom<br />

Guide your students through basic identification of bullets and shell casings<br />

with real evidence samples and accurate re-created examples.<br />

Using the included ballistic evidence, plastic bullets, economy trajectory<br />

rods and ballistic blocks, you can safely and effectively introduce<br />

methods of analyzing ballistic evidence. The Embedded Ballistics version<br />

of this activity includes real shell casings and bullets embedded in a<br />

W Paternity<br />

Testing Lab Activity<br />

Determine Familial<br />

Relationships with DNA<br />

Fingerprinting<br />

Paternity was once determined by<br />

blood type, based on the concept<br />

that a child’s blood type depends on<br />

the blood type of the parents. Yet<br />

blood type can only exclude possible<br />

biological parents, not definitively<br />

determine the identity of the real<br />

parents. With DNA fingerprinting,<br />

however, it is possible to establish familial relationships with a high<br />

degree of certainty. In this lab activity, students work with a real-life situation,<br />

electrophoresing nonhuman DNA samples, simulating those of<br />

a child, mother, and two possible fathers; compare the banding patterns;<br />

From simple puncture wounds associated with sharp instrument trauma to<br />

firearms entry and exit wounds, this kit is critical in studying forensics.<br />

Especially useful in crime scene simulations, the wound set asks students: Can<br />

you recognize pattern ligature in strangulation? What was the murder weapon?<br />

What does a single-bladed knife stab wound look like compared to a doubleedged<br />

blade wound? What are the differences between the wound of mechanism<br />

for suicide and hesitation marks? Each of these questions and more are<br />

addressed with a set of simulated wounds that also includes moulage wax,<br />

coagulant blood, and a selection of makeup for designing your own wounds of<br />

bruising, blanching, and lividity. The entire kit comes placed in a sturdy carry<br />

case for protection and ease of transportation to the training or simulation site.<br />

This innovative kit contains carefully sculpted models of injuries taken from<br />

actual victim’s wounds and reviewed by forensic education professionals insuring<br />

real scene representations of trauma commonly found on violent crime victims.<br />

Biotechnology | DNA Extraction<br />

DNA On A Chain Lab Activity:<br />

Extraction and Isolation Laboratory with a New Twist<br />

Display Your DNA<br />

Developed in partnership with Brookhaven National Laboratory, this DNA extraction lab involves<br />

a fun twist that both simplifies the process and guarantees success. Students swish a popular<br />

sports drink you provide in their mouth to break open or lyse their own cheek cells. This fluid is<br />

then added to a detergent containing sodiumdodecyl sulfate (SDS), and heated to break down the<br />

fats and proteins of the cell membrane. Ethanol is gently added to the solution to reveal the DNA<br />

precipitate. Once isolated, students can display their own DNA using the colorful cord and microcentrifuge<br />

tubes included and glass vial necklaces, available separately. Includes instructions and<br />

materials for 30 students. Note: A hot water bath is recommended.<br />

restriction enzymes to test its natural protection mechanism for DNA integrity, electrophoresing<br />

the samples to prove that the methylated DNA was protected. It comes<br />

with enough materials to run up to eight gels. The entire activity, including staining,<br />

can be completed in one 90-minute lab session, or can be divided into two 45-minute<br />

W Detection of Alu Insertion<br />

by PCR Lab Activity<br />

Examine Individual Genotypes<br />

for a DNA Polymorphism<br />

Found in the Human Genome<br />

Throughout evolution, segments of<br />

DNA about 300 bp long have been<br />

interspersed among primate<br />

genomes. Alu genotype distribution<br />

varies among different populations;<br />

anywhere from 500,000 to 1<br />

million copies may reside in the human<br />

genome. The insert is often used in genetic<br />

and evolutionary studies. Students use polymerase<br />

chain reaction technology to amplify segments of real human<br />

DNA and then electrophorese them to determine the Alu genotype.<br />

You will get enough materials to run 24 PCR reactions, a teacher’s<br />

guide, and student copymaster. A thermal cycler or two water baths,<br />

electrophoresis chamber, power supply, variable volume micropipets,<br />

required, are available separately. Note: Coupon included for perishable<br />

Various Uses of DNA<br />

Polymorphism<br />

Identification in<br />

Individuals<br />

Certain DNA basepair<br />

sequences vary from<br />

person to person; for<br />

example, in one person<br />

a particular basepair<br />

sequence may be<br />

repeated ten times,<br />

while in another person the same sequence may be repeated 25<br />

times. Known as polymorphisms, the repetitions are an identifying<br />

factor in a person’s DNA, and thereby can be used for DNA fingerprinting<br />

in forensics, paternity testing, and disease diagnosis. The<br />

basepair sequences can be separated using electrophoresis and the<br />

resulting banding pattern used to distinguish one person from the<br />

next, which students perform with the lab activity. Using DNA isolated<br />

from their own cheek cells, students amplify a variable DNA region<br />

known as a D1S80 locus, electrophorese the DNA, and identify<br />

whether the student is homozygous or heterozygous for the D1S80<br />

locus. The kit includes enough materials to run 24 PCR reactions, a<br />

teacher’s guide, and student copymaster. A thermal cycler or two<br />

water baths, electrophoresis chamber, power supply, variable volume<br />

Fusion Kit: Geranium<br />

Create a Hybrid Plant by Fusing<br />

Protoplasts from Different<br />

Geranium Plants<br />

Protoplasts, the living part of a plant cell within<br />

the cell wall, are often used in many areas of<br />

botanical research, such as the study of cell<br />

wall regeneration, localization of biochemical<br />

processes in the cell, and investigations of the mechanics of virus infection. Hybrid<br />

crops are being developed by introducing gene sequences into protoplasts, which<br />

may lead to plants with increased resistance to diseases and pests, greater nutritional<br />

content, and enhanced photosynthetic capabilities. Students learn the<br />

basics of protoplast fusion by working with geranium plants to create hybrids; the<br />

two different colors of the plants make it easy to observe the hybridization. It comes<br />

with enough materials for ten setups, as well as teacher’s guide and student copymaster.<br />

A geranium, required, is available separately. Note: Coupon included for<br />

perishable materials. Redeem by mail, fax, phone, or e-mail.<br />

Geoblox Botany Models<br />

Students Can Build Their Own Model for Better Understanding<br />

Textbook pictures can help students visualize concepts, but they cannot provide a<br />

3-D view. Geoblox models provide a multi-learning approach to helping students understand a concept or a<br />

structure from the inside out as they build their own models. These models also provide opportunities<br />

for developing higher order thinking skills, as students are asked to draw diagrams of their<br />

models before building them. The 25 models included in the book are Plant Cell, Leaf Layers,<br />

Flower, Tracheids, Leaf Cross Section, Vessel Elements, Stomata Open, Stomata Closed,<br />

Dicot Root, Dicot Stem, Monocot Root, Monocot Stem, Fall Leaf and Stem, Lateral Roots,<br />

Root Tip, Bryophyte (Moss), Pterophyte (Fern), Dendrochronology, Angiosperm<br />

(Cactus), Gymnosperm (Conifer), Acid Rain, Tree Rings, Bog Succession, Tropical Rain<br />

Forest, and Vegetative Propagation (Creosote). Each model also includes an explanation<br />

printed on the back, and the haploid and diploid life cycle stages are color coded. The<br />

set of patterns is comb bound and can be used as a copymaster to produce enough for<br />

your entire class or you can enlarge the patterns to use as demonstration models.<br />

SunCalc – The Sunlight Calculator<br />

Protect Your Plants While Growing<br />

Maximize plants’ growing potential by placing plants in optimum<br />

light conditions. This innovative device accurately measures the<br />

amount of accumulated light that falls on a specific growing location,<br />

providing you with the ability to match a plant’s light requirements<br />

(full sun, partial sun, etc.) with the actual light conditions as<br />

measured by SunCalc. The actual measurement obtained by the unit<br />

is photosynthetically active (PAR) light in a specific growing location.<br />

Simply place the SunCalc at the desired location, turn it on, and<br />

12 hours later return to read the results: Full Sun, Partial Sun, Partial<br />

Shade, or Full Shade. The SunCalc is also water-resistant to withstand<br />

spray from sprinklers or rain.<br />

Biofuels: Investigating Ethanol<br />

Production and Combustion<br />

Lab Avtivitiy<br />

Demonstrate the Costs and Benefits of Biofuels<br />

In three phases of investigation students will gain understanding<br />

of alternative fuels, how they are made, what<br />

they are used for, and what trade-offs exist. Students begin<br />

by fermenting corn and cane sugar, the two food sources<br />

used most commonly to produce ethanol. The experiment<br />

continues with the distillation of the fermented stillage to<br />

produce fuel and studying the energy released by the combustion<br />

of ethanol and kerosene. Comparing these results<br />

and constrasting the two by-products — CO 2 and particulate<br />

matter — of the two fuels, students can then discuss<br />

the trade-offs of biofuels and fossil fuels as sources of energy.<br />

Includes materials for six setups.<br />

Ethanol Fuel From Corn<br />

Lab Activity<br />

First-Hand Demonstration of Fuel Creation Processes<br />

Demonstrate the creation of ethanol and examine its use and<br />

effectiveness with this student experiment. By performing germination,<br />

fermentation, and distillation procedures, students<br />

will produce ethanol and other products. Two methods are<br />

offered for germinating the corn seed and acquiring the enzyme<br />

required for saccharification of starches in the corn, so that students<br />

can compare each process. Applying concepts of volatality<br />

of liquids, evaporation, and condensation, students will<br />

examine the combustion of both lab-grade ethanol and corn<br />

ethanol. Observing the differences and similarities between the<br />

ethanol types will establish a complete understanding of this<br />

fuel. Students will then discuss the future of this new fuel source<br />

and its environmental, economic, and social impacts. Includes<br />

materials for five setups or nine demonstrations.<br />

Detection of Mad Cow Disease Lab Activity<br />

Examine Simulated PCR Products to Find BSE<br />

Mad cow disease or Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) nearly devastated the US<br />

beef industry in the mid-nineties. This neurodegenerative, fatal condition in cows is also<br />

linked to the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans who ingest BSE infected beef. One<br />

mode of BSE transmission throughout cattle populations is by the inclusion of infected<br />

cow or sheep parts in cattle feed, a practice that was banned in the United States in 1997.<br />

In this experiment, students examine simulated PCR products from several feed mills, to<br />

determine any possible violations of the 1997 ban. Students will perform agarose gel<br />

electrophoresis and use their knowledge of DNA to formulate conclusions on the transmission<br />

of mad cow disease. Includes enough materials to run six gels. A thermal cycler<br />

or two water baths, electrophoresis chamber, power supply, variable volume micropipets,<br />
