Molecular Model Kit, Fat (Glyceryl Tristearate) (Product Code: SLE/Mo/12) is a model-building kit used to construct glyceryl tristearate, a typical saturated fat, in biology, food-science and chemistry lessons. Its joining pieces keep the three fatty-acid chains firmly attached to the glycerol unit so the molecule can be passed round the class, and the parts are kept in a compartment case. The kit is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Glyceryl tristearate, also called tristearin, forms when one glycerol molecule is joined by ester bonds to three stearic acid molecules, with water released at each link. Every chain is saturated, with no carbon–carbon double bonds, so the chains stay straight and pack closely together — the reason fats of this type are solid at room temperature.
In class, students can build the glycerol unit first, attach the three chains and then locate the ester links. The finished model supports discussions of fat digestion by lipase, soap-making by saponification and the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats, making it a useful molecular model for organic chemistry as well as nutrition. Placing it beside the stearic acid kit shows how one fatty acid becomes part of a fat.
The fat kit is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and acts as the OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Each kit is made and assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, rather than sourced from a trader.
Schools, food-science and nutrition departments, dealers and importers can buy direct from the factory. Learn more on the ScienceLab company profile.

What molecule does the fat molecular model kit build?
The Molecular Model Kit, Fat (Glyceryl Tristearate) builds glyceryl tristearate, a triglyceride made from one glycerol unit and three stearic acid chains. It is a standard example of a saturated fat in biology and chemistry teaching.
Will the assembled fat molecule stay together?
Yes, the Molecular Model Kit, Fat (Glyceryl Tristearate) has joining pieces designed so the assembled molecule stays firmly constructed. It can be handed around the class during a lesson without falling apart.
How is the glyceryl tristearate kit stored?
The Molecular Model Kit, Fat (Glyceryl Tristearate) comes in a durable storage case with compartments that keep the parts segregated. Returning each piece to its compartment after use makes the next build quicker and helps spot missing parts.
Who manufactures the Molecular Model Kit, Fat (Glyceryl Tristearate)?
The Molecular Model Kit, Fat (Glyceryl Tristearate) is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and is quoted direct by the manufacturer.
