Bacterial Amylase Project Pack
Product Code : LSK-BL-10193
Bacterial Amylase Project Pack (SKU LSK-BL-10193) is an enzyme investigation kit containing bacterial amylase, starch, iodine and all the buffers needed to study how pH and temperature affect the enzyme's activity. Teaching notes come with it, making it suitable for Class 11–12 biology projects and college biochemistry practicals. Science Lab Supplies prepares quotations in Ambala, India, and can dispatch the pack to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The project pack's contents and the two variables it investigates are listed row by row below. In short, students follow the breakdown of starch by bacterial amylase with the iodine test across a range of buffered pH values and temperatures, guided by the teaching notes in the pack.

Applications and Experiments for the Bacterial Amylase Project Pack
Iodine turns blue-black while starch remains, so the time taken for that colour to disappear shows how quickly the amylase is working. By repeating the test in different buffers and at different temperatures, students find the conditions under which the enzyme works fastest and where its activity falls away.
- Class 11 biology (NCERT, enzymes): effect of pH and temperature on enzyme activity as an investigatory project.
- B.Sc. microbiology and biochemistry practicals: time-course spot tests, sampling the reaction with a Glass Dropper Pipette 6.
- Parallel reactions in Test Tubes, one tube for each buffer or temperature.
- Preparing extra iodine reagent from Iodine Crystals under supervision when larger classes need more indicator.
Iodine stains skin and clothing; students should wear eye protection, and a teacher should supervise the handling of all reagents.
Standard Scope of Supply
The pack contains bacterial amylase, starch, iodine and all the buffers needed for the pH and temperature experiments, plus teaching notes. Test tubes, a water bath and timing equipment are not included. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
One pack can be quoted for a single project group, or several packs for a class that runs the investigation at the same time. The quotation from Science Lab Supplies gives the packing, delivery time and price for that number, and heaters or glassware can be listed on it too.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and is able to ship to buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and Zambia. For a price on the pack, write to us via the contact page, add it to the enquiry cart with your other biology items, or go through the lab tender page for a formal tender.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Bacterial Amylase Project Pack contain?
It contains the bacterial amylase enzyme, starch as the substrate, iodine for testing, and all the buffers required for the pH and temperature experiments. Teaching notes are included to guide the set-up and the interpretation of results.
Which variables can students investigate?
The pack is designed for two variables: the effect of pH, using the buffers supplied, and the effect of temperature on bacterial amylase. Students can link the two into a single project comparing the enzyme's optimum conditions.
How does the iodine test show enzyme activity?
Iodine gives a blue-black colour with starch. As amylase breaks the starch down, samples taken at intervals stop turning blue-black, and the time this takes is a simple measure of how fast the enzyme is working.
Who supplies the Bacterial Amylase Project Pack?
The pack is quoted and shipped by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India. As a supplier of biology practical kits, it can add test tubes, droppers and heating equipment to the same consignment for schools, colleges and distributors.
