This kit can build a trisaccharide model of cellulose, an important structural polymer in land plants which consists of long branching chains of glucose molecules. You can view a subunit of cellulose by entering its CAS number: "9004-34-6" in our 3D Model Builder
Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Molymod atoms & bonds for 30+ years. These parts are compatible with every molecular model kit we have sold. This level of quality may seem expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
Cellulose consists of three β D-glucose subunits. Note that the positioning of the hydrogens is somewhat random. The model should lie relatively flat since cellulose is laid down in sheets.You can also build similar models in the Orbit style with our 68799W Glucose Molecule Structure Models Kit.

I purchased this set as a gift so can only say recipient (my grandson) is very pleased. I have been dealing with Chris Bingleman for the past three years to find the appropriate gifts. He has gone above and beyond with the service he has given to me. It is always a pleasure to speak with him.. Carla Wallace
