In a normal research setting, samples of various DNA, RNA, or proteins would be run on this type of system. However, in this lab, we will be substituting various flavors of Kool-Aid for the DNA samples.This experiment will introduce you to the basics of gel electrophoresis, introduction to color theory, and how the eye perceives color.Also a virtual lab has been included to allow students to perform electrophoresis online. This can be a great introductory activity before doing the Kool-aid Lab or can be a substitution if you do not have electrophoresis equipment.You will need gel electrophoresis equipment to conduct the Kool Aid lab.
