Carolina Biological Supply Company make these so I guess you could ask Southern Biological to get them for you. Are you allowed to use cheek cells in your state? We are not permitted to use any human material here. Strawberry or kiwi fruit DNA around your neck?

Oh Nicky- the kit is $46.50 US and is enough for 32 students- don't know what you would be charged by Southern Biological though. Interesting to see...

Check it out at Southern Biological and if it is too dear buy it from the U.S. With our dollar the way it is, this might be cheaper!

Found it here in Oz. Bio-tek sell them for $4.00 a head. Pretty good value I think.

We also get ours from Bio-tek (www.biotek.com.au). The kit is very good, everything (except Ethanol and disinfectant) is included, with detailed instructions plus great information.
