Kemtec™ Biochemistry Kits

Description

• Biochemistry I: Introduce students to the chemistry of living things Features five classic biochemistry experiments Use Benedicts reagent, Biuret, Sudan IV, Iodine to test for proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids Use pepsin to digest protein Test the activity of salivary amylase (both in vitro and in vivo) Develop a technique for determining ascorbic acid concentration to use to evaluate Vitamin C levels Determine of the alkalinity of acidity of foods Ideal for students in biology, general science, nutritional science, or biochemistry Biochemistry II: Includes an entire course worth of classic biochemistry experiments presented at a more in-depth level than Biochemistry I Learn how to measure the pH of foods, saliva, and soil Learn classic detection methods for sugars, starch, fat, and protein Pepsin digestion of protein Amino acid detection using ninhydrin Explore the effects of varying conditions on salivary amylase activity Model how digestion works Determine ascorbic acid concentration Explore dyes and plant pigments using chromatography with different solvents Ideal for supporting higher level biology, nutritional science, advanced general science, or biochemistry courses
