DNA Playground Features
The DNA Playground™ is a playful collection of all the equipment you need to engineer and grow cells in Petri dishes.
This means you can easily perform bacteria transformation and genetic engineering experiments from the comfort of your desk. With all-in-one heating and cooling, touch controls, and sensors, the DNA Playground saves 1-2 hours of setup/cleanup time each time you use it!
The DNA Playground replaces the need for:
• Ice/Ice buckets
• Hot water baths
• Thermometers
• Incubators
• Timers
