    Wonderful Product

    This kit worked wonderfully for my students! The materials provided were perfectly suitable for completing the experiment without issue, and we had an incredible transformation efficiency without hundreds of fluorescent colonies detected. I will certainly be buying this from The ODIN again next year. So appreciative!

    fantastic and eye-opening experiments for beginner

    Posted by Michael Beierlein on 25th Dec 2022

    straightforward instructions (though it is recommended to read everything before getting started) . If doing these experiments during the cold season, have a space heater handy to speed up incubation times. One minor annoyance: not all packages are complete so good to check everything is there before getting started.

    I had a lot of fun with this project and it was really interesting learning how everything worked. The user manual was simple and easy to read and very user friendly.

    Great for Novice Biohackers

    Posted by Ian Meiser on 14th Nov 2022

    Two teachers at our high school run the CHS Science Club and after watching Unnatural Selection my colleague and I decided to look into The ODIN to see what was available for our fledgling scientists/biohackers to work with. We decided to try the Genetic Design Starter Kit and the results were great. Since we usually only have 30-60 minutes once or twice a week with our group we were able to make things work. The students thoroughly enjoyed the process and learning about biohacking. After completing the procedure we did have successful transformation and saw some glowing colonies. It was great!

    Good fun

    Clear instructions and well-packaged kit. Took a couple of tries, but eventually was successful! I think giving extra incubation time was what made my second try have better results (since I was incubating at room temperature).

    This is the second product I’ve ordered from the Odin. The instruction manual is clear, there are online guides, and wow, I’ve learned a lot about genetics and biology!

    Genetic Design Starter Kit - Glowing Jellyfish Bacteria

    Posted by SANDRA SIMONDS on 12th May 2022

    First time - worked perfectly, even with a few human errors and extended time in between stages. Used with 7th graders.
