Discontinuous Enzymatic Reactor University Educational Equipment

ENZR Discontinuous Enzymatic Reactor University Educational Equipment

The unit consists mainly of a reactor in which glucose is isomerized into fructose by means of glucose isomerase, an enzymatic catalyst. The unit enables to study the kinetics of enzymatic reactions and the effects of the operating conditions.
Training program
This unit enables to deepen the following issues:
• Discontinuous enzymatic reactor operation
• Effect of operating conditions
