Edvotek was founded in 1987 as the first company focused on translating cutting-edge biotechnology for the teaching classroom. We work with educators all over the world to demystify science and foster the next generation of scientists through hands-on, active learning activities.
Our equipment is tough enough to stand up to daily use in the research laboratory, but with features that make it easy to use for students.
Edvotek was the first company to bring PCR into the classroom with the original EdvoCycler. The PCR revolution continues with our newly-redesigned thermal cyclers.
The EdvoCycler™ 2, catalog number 541-542, doubles the capacity of the original by incorporating a 48 well sample block. Our best-selling PCR machine has been upgraded with a full-color touchscreen and an easy-to-program user interface. The EdvoCycler 2 is proudly made in the USA!
Explore personal PCR with the Edvocycler Jr, catalog number 540. This unit has the precision heating and cooling power of the EdvoCycler 2 in a smaller footprint. Affordable, easy to use and program, and no external monitor necessary!
Both the Edvocycler 2 and the EdvoCycler Jr are backed by an industry-leading three year warranty and lifetime tech support!
The EDGE™ Integrated Electrophoresis System, catalog number 500, seamlessly combines an electrophoresis chamber, power supply and blue light into a single easy-to-use unit. The EDGE™ safely runs a full-sized gel in less than 10 minutes with crisp band resolution while being viewed in real-time.
It's designed to run all EDVOTEK® electrophoresis experiments and is compatible with any other experiments you may perform. Bring the EDGE™ into your laboratory for the ultimate in convenience, performance and results.
Our newly reimagined M12 Complete™, catalog number 502-504, supports up to two student groups within one electrophoresis chamber. All accessories are included, and we stand behind the quality of our units with a lifetime warranty.
From the color coded push tabs to the redesigned gel trays and the buffer pour spout, our electrophoresis chambers were designed with students in mind. Your students will be able to run the full spectrum of electrophoresis experiments with this set-up, from dye electrophoresis to DNA fingerprinting, and even protein analysis!
Imaging gels? We improved the popular TruBlu™ by adding an enlarged viewing surface and a novel white light mode. Our new TruBlu™2, catalog number 557, has enough surface area to simultaneously view up to eight 7 x 7 cm gels.
The TruBlu 2 combines the functions of two units into one! Blue light enables visualization of SYBR® Safe stained DNA gels and bacteria transformed with green fluorescent proteins (gfp). White light enhances visualization of blue stained DNA gels, dye electrophoresis gels, or protein gels.
Our experiments offer hands-on investigations with options for student participation in inquiry-based extensions that merge science and education.
SARS-CoV-2 is a novel coronavirus that has caused a worldwide outbreak of respiratory disease. Your students have likely seen the same news reports and may be curious to learn more. This is the perfect time to teach your students about virology, epidemiology, and medical testing with our hands-on testing simulations.
The gene-editing tool CRISPR is one of the most exciting biotechnology breakthroughs of the past decade. In our hands-on experiments, students explore CRISPR through experiments that model the development of a cure for Cystic Fibrosis, improving food crops, and even engineering bacteria that could live on Mars!
Are you looking for experiments ideal for distance learning? With Edvotek’s MyLab™ custom kits, you can plan your curriculum and have all the materials sent directly to your students! Each kit comes with instructions, materials for 2-3 runs of each experiment, and the necessary personal protective equipment. We’re currently offering thirteen experiments, and we’re constantly developing new ones.
Want to learn more about biotechnology techniques in the comfort of your own home? We offer live training workshops every other week on YouTube. Topics include electrophoresis, medical diagnostics, transformation, and more. Be sure to subscribe to our channel for alerts for upcoming workshops!
We pride ourselves on providing the highest quality customer service for our teachers. Call, email, or send us a message on social media!
