Diastase from Malt – LR Grade, 10 g

Diastase from Malt is an enzyme preparation supplied in a 10 g pack and produced to Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade. Diastase is a mixture of enzymes, chiefly amylase, that catalyse the breakdown of starch into maltose and other sugars, making it a valuable reagent for teaching digestion, enzyme activity, and carbohydrate metabolism.

Identified by CAS Number: 9000‑92‑4 and with no UN number, diastase is not classified as hazardous for transport when handled appropriately. Supplied in solid form, it offers good stability, ease of storage, and accurate preparation of enzyme solutions for educational laboratory use.

The 10 g pack size is ideal for individual classes or occasional practical work, providing sufficient material for multiple enzyme experiments while minimising waste.
