The DNA Playground replaces the need for:
- Ice/Ice buckets
- Hot water bath
- Thermometer
- Incubator
- Timer
There are two different versions of the DNA Playground: Home & Large (choose in the drop-down menu)
- The DNA Playground Home: Enables one individual/group to complete one Amino Labs experiment at a time. This smaller unit is compatible with all Zero to Genetic Engineering Hero book exercises, with the exception of the RGB Kit in Chapter 7.
- DNA Playground Large: Enables up to four individuals/groups to do up to four Amino Labs experiments at a time. The DNA Playground large is typically used in the classroom environment; however, if you're an at home-learner, a DNA Playground Large will allow you more flexibility in the future if you choose to start doing your own experiments! The DNA Playground Large is compatible with all Zero to Genetic Engineering Hero book exercises.
Ships in 2-5 working days. DNA Playground colors may vary.
