Biomicro

Microchemistry for biology.  Allows students to use the power of microchemistry in biological applications.  Complete AP laboratories in a fraction of the time normally required for these complex and tedious tasks.  For example, the required laboratory on enzyme reactions takes three hours and the student results vary widely.  Biomicro allows you to perform the same experiments, using the same chemicals in LESS than 45 minutes!!

Could you use two hours for additional teaching?
