Updates since publications and glucose analytical lab for undergraduates

Posted by jryter on 05 Aug 2014 at 04:05 GMT

I teach general, analytical and instrumental chemistry. I just love this cheapstat! I was curious if you have any improvements or updates since this was published. I would like to have students make this in Instrumental and use this in analytical and possibly general chemistry. One idea that I had floating around was to 1. use commercial glucose test strips and measure the current/voltage. and 2. make a cell to test glucose using the same components as the comercial strips. Have you tried to make the test strip in a larger homemade/lab sized version?

And have you updated the cheapstat at all before we start poking around with it?

Thanks!
