Kit for Optical Isomer Testing and Synthesis

Abstract

On this study, we produced an educational experimental kit for classifying reagents by manufacturing a simplified polarimeter. Actual polarimeters are generally less accessible for using. Thus, we used polarizers and acrylics to produce an educational experimental kit. In this study, we measured the photoactivity of reagents, and the error range was less than ±1°. Additionally, we automated the process of measuring photoactivity by using arduino. It is expected that this kit can be used as an experimental tool to predict results in advance before using an actual polarimeter in the future.
