"Since last October, we have been providing MiniOnes to our Amgen Bio Experience (ABE) teachers. The feedback received has been excellent. With little support from us over the phone, teachers and students have been able to successfully use them as part of their biology curriculum in a single class period. The small footprint and the fact that students see the results quickly are two favorable characteristics shared by our teachers. If your site has to invest in additional gel boxes or simply replace damaged equipment give the MiniOnes a try," says Hector Ayala-Del-Río, Interim Director of the Biology Department at the University of Puerto Rico-Humacao, Amgen Bio Experience -Puerto Rico.
Stakeholders in STEM education are using the MiniOne to provide students a complete electrophoresis experience that is fast and safe. South San Francisco School District, backed by a prominent biotech foundation to develop their curriculum, has chosen the MiniOne for its intuitive operation and safety features. The education arm of the non-profit biotechnology industry association for Massachusetts, MassBioEd, uses the MiniOne for the teacher professional development workshops.
"Over the last eighteen months we have been working with the STEM community to develop the MiniOne specifically for the education market. We find it gratifying to be selected by these very well respected outreach programs. We are proud to be part of such innovative science education," said Richard Chan, CEO and President.
About the MiniOne
Designed specifically for biology educators and students, the MiniOne provides for inexpensive research quality DNA separation in one classroom period. The premise of the MiniOne is to allow the work to be performed by students in real time. General biology students have found the MiniOne easy to use, and they see success nearly every time.
The MiniOne is safe. No ethidium bromide, no UV, no high voltage. The horizontal blue LED-light in the MiniOne enables simultaneous running and viewing. Students watch the DNA bands migrate within the gel matrix using a non-hazardous stain called GelGreen.
