Start your journeyThank you for putting so much time and thought into the creation of this great kit and all the supporting resources around it.
I was especially impressed with the patient, personalized and incredibly helpful responses to my many questions. Best customer service ever.
An easy way to introduce students to biology & art! The Canvas kits introduced my students to using biology as an art medium, seeing the crossovers between art and science.
Kits were easy to use and safe, even for our younger students.
This was our first time exploring bacterial art and it was INCREDIBLE!
What a unique experience the students won’t forget anytime soon.
I have used Amino Labs' kits in my high school biotechnology class. They have never failed. The instructions can be successfully adapted to a variety of learners (middle school to college). Amino Labs is highly responsive and helpful. I would strongly recommend their kits!!!
I did this in the classroom and in workshops with students (junior high and high school) - all the students loved painting with the bacteria and it was easy to set up, explain, and clean up. I think it is awesome that this kit is available for anyone to try!
The textbook is a must have for anyone interested in learning more about genetic engineering. I have used it both in my high school Synthetic Biology class and extracurricular club. I really appreciate the "Going Deeper" material. I highly recommend the book!
Engineer-it Kit exceeded expectations: Our experience was excellent, and I would recommend this kit. We initially did it with a group of high school students and...Our students voted to do this as an additional experiment for the end of their summer experience.
