Red Virus Kit

$89.95

Our red and green virus kits are currently out of stock. We are working with a new manufacturer and will have yellow and blue kits available in August.

The self-assembling virus kit is an analog system demonstrating the process by which many viruses assemble in the body. Magnets represent electrostatic attractions and repulsions. The random shaking motion brings the magnets into contact with each other, establishing a bond. The bond can be broken, but as more virus pentamer bond together, the structure becomes stronger and stronger until the final capsid shape is taken.
