Diastase (DNA Separation)
Diastase (DNA Separation) (Product Code: SCL380/096) is an amylase enzyme preparation, supplied as an analytical reagent, used to break starch down into sugars in enzyme practicals in school and college biology labs. It comes in a 100 gm pack with its MSDS and is catalogued with the DNA separation enzymes, though its classic classroom role is the starch-digestion practical of an enzyme activity kit in biology. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Diastase Used For?
The standard practical mixes a starch solution with a diastase solution and removes drops at regular intervals onto iodine solution. At first the drops turn blue-black; as the enzyme digests the starch the colour weakens to brown and finally stays yellow-brown, showing that no starch remains. Testing the final mixture with Benedict's reagent then confirms that reducing sugar has been produced.
Repeating the run in tubes held at different temperatures or pH values turns it into an investigation of the factors affecting enzyme activity, a straightforward enzyme experiment kit school and first-year college classes can set up. Prepare the enzyme solution fresh on the day, never boil it unless you want a denatured control tube, and avoid breathing the powder, as enzyme dusts can cause sensitisation.
Supplier
Diastase is offered under ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited of Ambala, Haryana, India. The company supplies enzymes and reagents together with the glassware and indicators needed to use them, and can check your protocol with you before you order. Read more in our company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Diastase (DNA Separation) do?
Diastase (DNA Separation) is an amylase: it hydrolyses starch into smaller sugars such as maltose. That is why starch gradually disappears from a mixture containing it, which students can follow with iodine solution during the practical.
How can students tell Diastase (DNA Separation) is working?
Students can tell Diastase (DNA Separation) is working when samples tested with iodine change from blue-black towards yellow-brown as starch is used up. A positive Benedict's test on the final mixture then confirms that reducing sugar has been produced.
Is Diastase (DNA Separation) suitable for DNA separation work?
Diastase (DNA Separation) is catalogued with the enzymes for DNA separation practicals, but diastase itself acts on starch. Please contact us with your protocol so we can confirm it suits your experiment before you place an order.
How much Diastase (DNA Separation) is in a pack?
Each pack of Diastase (DNA Separation) contains 100 gm of analytical reagent grade enzyme preparation, supplied with its MSDS. Only small amounts are dissolved for each class, so plan the number of packs by groups and sessions.
How long does Diastase (DNA Separation) keep?
The shelf life of Diastase (DNA Separation) depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep the container tightly closed, cool and dry, and make enzyme solutions fresh on the day.
Who supplies Diastase (DNA Separation)?
Diastase (DNA Separation) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India. The company supplies schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets, and can quote it together with iodine solution, Benedict's reagent and test tubes.
What should a school include in a quotation request for Diastase (DNA Separation)?
A school's quotation request for Diastase (DNA Separation) should give the product code SCL380/096, the number of 100 gm packs, the delivery address and billing details, plus any related reagents it wants priced at the same time.
