Coronavirus DNA Test Model

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

Show how the DNA test for the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) causing COVID-19 works!

Early detection is key for stopping the spread of coronavirus by helping known sick individuals self-isolate. A very sensitive real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based DNA test is used to test people to determine if they have the virus. It can even detect viral infection before someone exhibits symptoms or in asymptomatic people.

Our model illustrates how a reverse transcriptase enzyme is first used to convert RNA to DNA.
See how the real-time PCR test is carried out using a different enzyme called Taq DNA polymerase.
Fluorescent dyes are used to visualize the result.
Both positive and negative results are covered by the model.
The model covers real-time PCR, reverse transcriptase, fluorescent dyes, DNA primers, DNase, and RNase.
Time to build model takes about 30 minutes.
