Product Description
*Please note that our Alcohol Fermentation Kit is only suitable for use in education.*
Another very well known example of the use of micro-organisms is the production of alcohol by yeast fermentation. Our Alcohol Fermentation Kit looks at fermentation in detail comparing the Anaerobic and Aerobic processes, and monitoring both the cell mass (biomass) changes and volume of alcohol produced.
It also includes setting up an immobilised cell system for comparative purposes.
The kit includes:
- Calcium Chloride
- Yeast Extract Powder
- Sodium Metabisulfite
- Sodium Alginate
- Dried Active Yeast
- Wine Yeast Compound
- Polythene Container
- Foam bung
- Plain bag
- Clear plastic tubing
- Miniature 3-way Luer Tap
- Plastic syringe
- Triple Scale Hydrometer

The following additional materials or equipment are required:
- Glucose
- Aquarium pump
- Magnetic stirrer (ideally two - B8A82375)
- Colorimeter (B8R03174)
- 6-7cm length of glass tubing (to fit into PVC tube provided)
- Cotton wool (B8R06721)
- Full instructions included
- Could be an excellent activity for a GCSE / A-Level Science Club
- GCSE to A-Level Biology: Enzyme Activity
- It is best to set up fermentations first thing in the morning and sample as many times as possible throughout the day. Run the experiments for two or three days more, sampling regularly to show the log and stationary phases of growth. The fermentations should not be run for more than four days
- Virkon Disinfectant can be used to disinfect the equipment used.
