What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is a replacement set of 20 tactile amino acid pieces for APH's Protein Synthesis Kit, a hands-on science learning tool designed for students who are blind or have low vision. Each piece represents a different amino acid, shaped and textured so students can physically manipulate them to model how proteins are assembled — a concept that's nearly impossible to teach through print diagrams alone. This is a replacement/refill pack, not a standalone kit; it only makes sense if you already own the full Protein Synthesis Kit (catalog number 1-08975-00) and need to replace lost or damaged pieces. Federal Quota funds are available, which means eligible students in the U.S. can access this through their state's APH quota allocation — worth confirming with a teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) before purchasing out of pocket.
