Laboratory Practice - Determination of alcohol content in beer

These practical kits allow students with or without electrochemical experience to complement their academicprograms 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);
