Genes in a Bottle: Capture Your Unique Essence!
Instructions
1. Using a disposable plastic transfer pipet, carefully
transfer an appropriate portion of the DNA in alcohol
into the helix vial. You do not have to fill the entire vial
with alcohol. (Note that students can share plastic
transfer pipets for transferring their DNA into the helix
vial.)
2. Place the screw cap onto the top of the helix vial and
tighten.
3. Slip the cord through the screw cap and tie the cord.
Optional: To permanently seal your DNA necklace, add super glue to
the outside threads of the helix vial (do not allow super glue to contact
the alcohol solution or hazing may occur), and then tighten the cap.
Allow super glue to dry with cap tightened.
Congratulations, you’ve created your very own
DNA helix necklace!
