Product Overview
Sucrose ARS, ACS is a high-purity disaccharide widely used in laboratory settings for its consistent composition and minimal impurities. This analytical reagent-grade sucrose meets stringent ACS (American Chemical Society) specifications, ensuring reliability in critical applications. The white, crystalline powder dissolves readily in water, forming a clear solution ideal for biochemical assays, molecular biology protocols, and analytical testing procedures. With a purity level exceeding 99.5%, this sucrose variant eliminates variability in experimental results, making it a preferred choice for researchers requiring precision. Its stable chemical structure and low moisture content (≤0.2%) prevent degradation during storage, maintaining integrity over extended periods. The product undergoes rigorous quality control, including heavy metal testing (≤5 ppm) and chloride content verification (≤0.002%), to comply with international laboratory standards. Packaged in airtight containers to prevent contamination, this sucrose variant is compatible with most aqueous solutions and common lab reagents, though it may require gentle heating for complete dissolution in high-concentration preparations.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between ARS and ACS grade sucrose?
ARS (Analytical Reagent Grade) sucrose meets general lab standards, while ACS grade adheres to stricter American Chemical Society specifications, particularly for heavy metal content and impurity limits.
2. Can this sucrose be used for protein crystallization experiments?
The high purity and low endotoxin levels make this sucrose suitable for protein crystallization, though specific protocol optimization may be required for optimal results.
3. What is the typical shelf life of unopened sucrose packages?
When stored in original packaging at room temperature (15-25°C), unopened sucrose maintains its specifications for 36 months from the date of manufacture.
4. Does this sucrose contain any anti-caking agents?
This product is free from anti-caking agents or additives, containing only pure sucrose molecules as verified by HPLC analysis.
5. How should opened sucrose packages be stored to prevent contamination?
After opening, transfer contents to a clean, dry container with a tight-fitting lid and store in a desiccator or low-humidity environment to prevent moisture absorption.
