Thanks to the dramatic color change and ampicillin, students clearly see the results of introducing new genes into live bacteria Great for teaching the molecular basis of inheritance Simple, straightforward procedure Minimizes teacher prep time Designed to match traditional AP® Biology Lab 6. Students use specially developed pBLU® plasmid in a colony transformation procedure to observe the phenotypic effect of inserting new genes into living bacteria. Transformants appear as white colonies on the ampicillin medium and as dramatically blue colonies on the ampicillin/X-gal medium. The 4- and...

Great Results and Save Educational Dollars with pBLU Refill
Juniper M.

We make our own LB broths, agars, and calcium chloride for use with the pBLU refill kit. Our Intro to Biology, General Biology, and Microbiology students learn all about gene transformation by performing the pBLU lab experiment.
Results are excellent and students are always excited to see the blue colonies of E. coli on the X-GAL positive plates. With this kit refill and by making media ourselves, were saving money while providing students with a great gene transformation experiment.
