Very easy and very straightforward
Posted by nolan on 11th Dec 2019
Even though it was very easy and straightforward instructions were a little confusing but I got the hang of it very easy. I wish they had a video series showing me how to do it step-by-step.

Straightforward and excellent for beginners
Posted by Dory A Muller on 24th Jun 2019
Shipping was awesome and earlier than expected. Instructions were clear and succinct. I was really satisfied with the shelf life of the bacteria and transformation mix--was worried that my delay in completing my experiments would reduce the likelihood of a successful one. Nonetheless, it worked except for the first amp tray...it would be really nice if you could include more educational components that highlights the mechanics and background of each kit item. That way, we can have a wider scope of background knowledge, making the experience that much more enjoyable.
