The Transformation Kit provides all the necessary equipment you need to be able to introduce foreign genes into E. coli to make the bacteria glow! The foreign gene used in this kit is a pGlo plasmid when expressed in transformed E. coli - it creates green fluorescent protein (GFP), which originated from bioluminescent jelly fish, Aquorea victoria. GFP has the ability to absorb blue light and emit a green fluorescence, allowing scientists all over the world use it as a biological marker to understand protein localization and many more uses. This is our most popular kit among high school students simply because of its visible results on the last day!
