Product Overview
Dextrose, anhydrous AR is a high-purity, water-free glucose derivative designed for laboratory applications requiring precise chemical consistency. This analytical reagent (AR) grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive biochemical assays, microbiological cultures, and analytical chemistry procedures. The anhydrous form guarantees stability and accurate weighing, eliminating moisture-related variability in experiments. Its fine, crystalline powder dissolves rapidly in aqueous solutions, providing reliable results in titration, fermentation studies, and enzymatic reactions. The product undergoes rigorous quality control to meet international standards, ensuring reproducibility in research and testing environments. Its neutral pH and non-reactive nature make it compatible with a wide range of lab protocols without interfering with reaction mechanisms. The 500g packaging offers convenient handling for frequent lab use while maintaining cost efficiency for educational and research institutions.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between anhydrous and monohydrate dextrose?
Anhydrous dextrose contains no water molecules in its crystalline structure, while monohydrate dextrose includes one water molecule per glucose unit. This affects the molecular weight and concentration calculations in solutions.
2. Can this dextrose be used for cell culture media preparation?
Yes, AR-grade anhydrous dextrose is suitable for cell culture media as it provides a consistent carbon source without introducing contaminants that could affect cell viability.
3. What is the typical shelf life of anhydrous dextrose when stored properly?
When stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed container, anhydrous dextrose maintains its stability for approximately 3-5 years from the date of manufacture.
4. Is this product compatible with HPLC analysis?
The high purity of AR-grade anhydrous dextrose makes it suitable for HPLC applications, though you may need to filter the solution before injection to remove any potential particulate matter.
5. What alternatives exist for applications requiring lower purity dextrose?
For less demanding applications, you might consider technical-grade dextrose or food-grade dextrose, though these contain higher impurity levels and may not be suitable for analytical work.
