Looking for an alternative to glucose strips when you teach about lactose and lactase?

Find out how you can directly track lactose cleavage and metabolism using Go Direct^® CO₂ sensors. Join Vernier biology expert John Melville, PhD, as he covers a standards-aligned enzymology lesson with an updated real-world application. This phenomenon-driven investigation will allow students to explore lactase enzyme function firsthand by observing lactose breakdown and sugar metabolism.
