On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we honour the incredible contributions that women continue to make in shaping the future of science and innovation. At the NCBE, we’re proud to stand as a team of talented and passionate women, dedicated to advancing education

Are you wondering how to set up 4 NCBE gel tanks and run them using the 36V transformer? Watch this video to find out! #gelelectrophoresis #DNA #NCBEgels

For those using lactase in your science lessons at the moment, why not try making some lactose free milk?!

Please do let your students know about our upcoming event, this was very popular last year so register early to avoid disappointment! The form can be found by scanning the QR code or here:

For anyone who is interested we are also on facebook and instagram for extra content please follow us!

Lane 1: Ladder, 2: undigested lambda DNA, 3: lambda digested with ECOR1, and 4: lambda digested with BAM, 5: lambda digested with HINDIII, 6: undigested lambda DNA

If you use our NCBE lambada DNA kit with your students or you are thinking of using it (and if not, why not?!) then this video is a must see. Find out how to solubilise the lambda DNA and restriction enzymes to get the best results. #DNA #electrophoresis

It all starts with the NCBE base unit... Head over to our YouTube channel to see how to load one of our super cute mini gels with both a micropipette and a microsyringe. Let your students experience gel electrophoresis! #electrophoresis #DNA

It all starts with the base unit… Are you interested in doing some gel electrophoresis with your students? Our award winning gel electrophoresis unit is only £67 (not incl VAT) and includes 8 sets of tanks, combs etc. Why not give it a try?! #electrophoresis #Alevel #biology

Happy New Year from everyone at the NCBE! Thank you to everyone who continues to support our business, our mission is still to make science engaging and hands-on for all students, by ordering from us you are directly supporting this initiative! #scienceisfun #outreach

Happy Christmas from everyone at the NCBE, we hope you have a lovely relaxing festive break. See you all in 2025!

This week our ambassadors were @NewCollSwindon teaching the students about enzymes and telling them all about studying food science @UniRdg_FNS and careers in the food sector, they both really enjoyed themselves! #mmmakeyourmark #foodscience #uniofreading

Wow I can't believe it was a week ago that our ambassadors visited @qmcollege to tell them all about pharmacology @RSofPharmacy @UniofReading and to undertake our muddled medicines practical with them. The students did a great job working out which sample was the placebo!

Don't forget to share your favourite practical lesson with us to be in with a chance of winning one of our synthetic biology kits! Only 2 weeks left to enter! #microbiology #syntheticbiology #scienceisfun

Our NCBE ambassadors had a great time yesterday @ItchenCollege doing one of our enzyme practicals with their A-level biology students and talking to them about studying food science @UniofReading and food careers. They both found it a really worthwhile trip! #foodscience

At ProFSET yesterday with people from the food industry, some really interesting discussions. We all need to think more about introducing food science into the classroom to tackle food security, climate change, and nutrition in the general population @NutritionSoc @UKRI_News

We are excited to announce our Christmas prize draw!! To be in with a chance of winning one of our synthetic biology kits all you need to do is share to @NatBiotech (with photos) the practical lesson you most enjoy teaching or the practical your class most enjoys before 16thDec!
