Batch Enzyme Reactor
Product Code : LSK-TWL-10801
Batch Enzyme Reactor (SKU LSK-TWL-10801) is a bench-top trainer for studying batch enzyme kinetics through the isomerisation of glucose to fructose by glucose isomerase. An on-line polarimeter follows the reaction, so no manual glucose assays are needed. It suits biochemical, bioprocess and chemical engineering labs. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the unit at its factory at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and supplies it direct to universities, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Every technical detail of the trainer is listed in the table below. In short, a clear acrylic stirred reactor with a stainless steel mesh impeller sits on an ABS plinth, two heaters and a sensor feed a PID controller, and a peristaltic sampling loop carries cooled liquid to an on-line polarimeter.

Applications and Experiments for the Batch Enzyme Reactor
The unit demonstrates batch enzyme kinetics and enzyme characteristics. Glucose turns polarised light to the right and fructose to the left, so the angle of rotation tracks the concentrations of reactant and product on-line, giving data for rate and temperature studies in biotechnology and chemical engineering practicals.
- B.Tech biotechnology or biochemical engineering: batch kinetics of an immobilised enzyme, building on bench-scale assays such as the Principles of Enzyme Catalysis kit.
- Effect of temperature and impeller speed on enzyme reaction rate, with the glucose substrate solution prepared on a Magnetic Heating Stirrer.
- Polarimetry as an on-line analytical method in process measurement training.
Standard Scope of Supply
The unit comes as described: the acrylic reactor with mesh impeller, heaters and temperature sensor, PID controller, peristaltic pump sampling loop, coil heat exchanger, polarimeter and three displays on the ABS plinth with its electrical console. A PC, the enzyme and the glucose substrate are not listed in the scope.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can cover one reactor or a full bioprocess teaching lab, and each quotation from Science Lab Supplies states the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Departments buying engineering lab equipment in India can combine it with other reactor trainers on one quotation.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Write to us through the contact page, add items to the enquiry cart, or see the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Batch Enzyme Reactor measure conversion?
A continuous loop cools the sample and passes it through a polarimeter. Because glucose and fructose rotate polarised light in opposite directions, the angle of rotation gives both concentrations on-line.
What safety features does the unit have?
Interlocks prevent the heaters from switching on when the reactor liquid level is low or the impeller is not running, and protection devices cover all electrical circuits.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies is the manufacturer. The reactor is built at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and quotations come directly from the factory.
Can the reactor be connected to a computer?
Yes. Sensor signals are routed to an I/O port for connection to a PC; the PC is not part of the listed scope, so confirm software needs when you enquire.
