Amino Acid Kit Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : EL-MTP-11662

The Amino Acid Kit is a hands-on molecular modeling set used for constructing, visualizing, and studying 3D structures of fundamental amino acids and peptide bonds. Designed for high school biology students, undergraduate chemistry majors, and biochemistry educators, this kit helps learners master organic chemistry functional groups and protein folding concepts through interactive model building.

Product Description

The Amino Acid Kit by School Equipments India simplifies complex biochemical structures by allowing students to assemble precise three-dimensional models of essential amino acids. Each kit features color-coded atom centers and durable link connectors based on standard CPK color conventions. This tactile approach bridges the gap between 2D textbook diagrams and 3D spatial orientation in structural biochemistry.

Constructed from high-density, non-toxic polypropylene and durable ABS plastic, all atom spheres and bonding pegs resist cracking and wear during repeated classroom use. The kit integrates seamlessly into standard chemistry lab equipment modules and works alongside broader molecular model kits to enhance interactive laboratory coursework.

Key Features

• Standard CPK Color Coding: Atom centers feature internationally recognized CPK colors for instant element identification.
• Durable Plastic Construction: Manufactured from high-impact polypropylene for long-lasting performance in busy academic laboratories.
• Flexible and Rigid Connectors: Includes both rigid bonds for single covalent connections and flexible links for double bonds and strained cyclic structures.
• Peptide Synthesis Demonstration: Engineered to demonstrate condensation reactions, peptide bond formation, and zwitterion chemical structures.
• Compact Organized Storage: Packaged in a compartmentalized plastic storage box with secure snap-latches for quick inventory checks.
• Classroom Safe: Non-toxic, smooth-edged components ensure safe handling for students of all age groups.

How to Use the Amino Acid Kit

1. Identify Functional Groups: Select the central alpha-carbon sphere and attach the primary amino group, carboxyl group, and hydrogen atom using single-bond connectors.
2. Attach R-Group Side Chains: Select the corresponding atom centers to construct specific side-chain variants such as Glycine, Alanine, or Cysteine.
3. Form Peptide Bonds: Connect two constructed amino acids by removing a hydroxyl group from one carboxyl end and a hydrogen from the adjacent amino group to form a peptide link.
4. Disassemble Components: Use the provided bond extractor tool to safely remove bond links without bending or damaging the atom sockets.

Handling Note: Store all small bond links in the internal storage compartments immediately after lab exercises to prevent component loss.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean atom spheres and plastic bonds periodically using warm water and mild liquid soap.
• Air dry all components completely before closing the storage container to prevent moisture accumulation.
• Avoid using harsh organic solvents, acetone, or abrasive scrubbers on the plastic components.
