Feature overview
These practical kits allow students with or without electrochemical experience to complement their academic
programs by an inquiry-based learning on research experiences. They are also useful for those researchers that are starting in the biosensing field.
According to European regulations, the labelling of drinks containing more than 1.2% by volume of alcohol must indicate the actual volumetric alcoholic strength. Due to the health and legal importance that implies showing the alcohol content of a beer in its label, it is important to determine its percentage with good precision and selectivity.
The main goals in this laboratory teaching kit are studying the establishment of a calibration curve and the determination of the alcohol content in samples of commercial beers by employing a fast and easy electrochemical assay.
The kit contains:
- The professor outline
- The student outline
- A box of suitable screen-printed electrodes (50 units)
