Product Overview
Dextrose, anhydrous LR is a high-purity, laboratory-grade monosaccharide widely used in biochemical and analytical applications. This refined form of glucose is free from water molecules, ensuring stability and consistency in experimental results. Its fine, crystalline powder form dissolves rapidly in aqueous solutions, making it ideal for precise formulations. The LR (Laboratory Reagent) grade guarantees minimal impurities, meeting stringent quality standards for reliable performance in sensitive assays. Whether used as a carbon source in microbial cultures or as a standard in analytical procedures, this product delivers consistent purity and reactivity. The anhydrous nature prevents moisture absorption, preserving its integrity during storage. Compatible with most lab protocols, it serves as a fundamental reagent in various research and testing environments. The 500 g pack size offers convenience for frequent use while maintaining cost-effectiveness for laboratories with moderate consumption needs.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between anhydrous and monohydrate dextrose?
Anhydrous dextrose contains no water molecules, offering higher purity and stability, while monohydrate dextrose includes one water molecule per glucose unit, which may affect measurements in precise applications.
2. Can this be used in cell culture media preparation?
Yes, this LR-grade dextrose is suitable for cell culture media as it provides a consistent carbon source without introducing contaminants that could affect cell viability.
3. How should this product be stored for long-term use?
Store in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or high humidity.
4. Is this dextrose compatible with HPLC or GC analysis?
While primarily used for general lab applications, this LR-grade dextrose may require further purification for HPLC or GC analysis to meet specific sensitivity requirements.
5. What alternatives exist for high-purity glucose applications?
Alternatives include D-glucose monohydrate (for applications where water content is acceptable) or analytical-grade dextrose for more demanding purity requirements.
