In-Person Lab
at a DNA Learning Center
Reserve a trip for students to experience hands-on labs in one of our state-of-the-art laboratory classrooms. DNALC educators and Ph.D. biologists are trained to deliver an exceptional learning experience to every visitor.
In-Person field trips are offered at the Dolan DNALC in Cold Spring Harbor, DNALC NYC in Brooklyn, Harlem DNA Lab, and Regeneron DNALC in Sleepy Hollow.
LEARN MOREVIRTUAL offered three ways
Live Hands-On Labs (Kit provided) are scheduled when it is convenient for your class. In addition to a demonstration of wet lab techniques, discussion of relevant concepts, and analysis of results, students perform all or part of the wet lab alongside the DNALC educator. Individual kits (containing consumable materials not to be shared) are distributed to students, who can complete the lab either in school or from home.

Live Demonstration Labs (No kit required) are scheduled when it is convenient for your class, with live instruction by a DNALC educator. Lab sessions include a demonstration of wet lab techniques, discussion of relevant concepts, and analysis of results. Students interact with the educator in real time, but do not perform a hands-on lab. For bioinformatics labs, students can follow along on their own computers during the session.
LEARN MORE
Pre-recorded On-Demand Lab (Kit provided) instruction with student kits offers flexibility in the timing and location of lab instruction. Each On-Demand field trip includes 1 to 3 hours of video instruction and individual student kits to complete a lab independently or together as a class. Teachers can use videos during class or as assignments, while still providing a hands-on lab experience. Access to videos will be set for a limited window of time.
