This glucose molecule structure model kit includes parts to build both the alpha and beta D (or L) glucose ring structures and demonstrates the importance of molecular chirality in biology. Use our 3D Model Builder to show a rotatable version of this molecule & the list of parts needed.

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.

Details
The chemical formula of glucose is C6H12O6; i.e. its chemical composition is 6 carbons, 6 oxygens and 12 hydrogens. This kit has enough parts to build 3 molecules of glucose; both the alpha and beta forms of glucose or D & L enantiomers of one form or the other, and a third for comparison when building disaccharides. The image shows glucose as a ring structure called a pyranose.

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
