Diastase Enzyme Powder Extra Pure
$ 17.10
Diastase Enzyme Powder Extra Pure is a high-activity amylolytic enzyme preparation used in laboratory settings to catalyze the breakdown of starch into simpler sugars like maltose and glucose. It plays a crucial role in biochemical and enzymatic assays, fermentation studies, and educational demonstrations involving carbohydrate metabolism. This extra pure grade ensures high enzyme purity, offering reliable and reproducible results in analytical work and research. Ideal for controlled hydrolysis experiments and studies on enzyme kinetics, it should be stored in a cool, dry place to preserve its enzymatic activity and stability.

Ammonium Carbonate Extra Pure is a high-quality, white crystalline solid widely used across various scientific, industrial, and food-related applications. Manufactured to stringent purity standards, this compound is ideal for laboratories and processes that demand high-grade reagents. With its characteristic ammonia-like odor and ability to decompose upon heating, ammonium carbonate plays a versatile role in both chemical reactions and physical processes.
In aqueous solution, ammonium carbonate breaks down into ammonium bicarbonate and ammonium carbamate, further releasing ammonia (NH₃) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) upon heating. This property makes it especially useful in applications that require controlled gas release or temporary pH modification.
