Sugar-Saccharide Models
SKU: 68799W
Glucose and related sugars are essential to metabolism. This advanced sugars molecular model kit comes with 100 carbons & can make lactose, sucrose, ribose, cellulose & starch for only $109.95.
Build 16 pyranose or furanose isomers in either linear or ring form or 6 monosaccharides, 3 disaccharides & a starch molecule. Compare monosaccharides such as glucose, galactose, fructose & maltose to disaccharides such as lactose & sucrose. Also helps understand the different crosslinking found in cellulose, starch & even chitin.
For the adventurous pedagogue with a flair for legerdemain, try our AtoMag glucose magnetic molecular model. Quickly change the position of any oxygen atom to show different structural isomers in the blink of an eye. If you buy two, you can build any disaccharide.
Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) parts for 30+ years (scroll down to see "Skeletal (Orbit/Minit) and are compatible with every molecular model kit we have sold since day 1. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
