About this Event
After harvesting their own cheek cells, participants will extract their DNA using lysis buffer, protease and ethanol. They will go home with a piece of their own DNA in a necklace.
This workshop takes place in the Urenco Young Scientist Centre’s teaching laboratory, offering participants a unique opportunity to experience working in a real lab environment.
For safety reasons, all participants must wear closed-toe shoes, and anyone with long hair is required to tie it back.
Warning: Participants will extract their own DNA from their saliva.
This workshop is strictly for 12 - 14 year-olds.
Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.
