D-(+)-Glucose
≥99.5% (GC)

Synonym(s): Dextrose

Description

General description
D-(+)-Glucose is a monosaccharide which is the main source of energy in the form of ATP for living organisms. The effect of adding glucose as a supplement to the infection media of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts has been studied. The polymer-bound glucose template has been demonstrated to be useful in the multi-step parallel synthesis of various compounds.

D-(+)-Glucose (Dextrose) is a high-purity analytical standard (≥99.5%, GC) widely used in carbohydrate analysis, enzymatic assays, and microbial media preparation. As a primary monosaccharide and critical biological fuel source, D-glucose serves as a reliable reference material for quantifying sugars in food, beverage, agricultural, and biochemical workflows.

This material supports a broad range of research applications including total sugar determination (phenol-sulfuric acid method), starch hydrolysis studies, and yeast culturing in defined CM glucose media formulations. Its excellent solubility in water and consistent melting profile ensure dependable performance across QC, academic, and industrial laboratories.

Use this standard when you need reproducible, traceable glucose measurements for method development, validation, or routine analytical work.

Application
D-(+)-Glucose has been used as a standard for the estimation of total sugar in hydrolyzed starch by phenol-sulfuric acid method.

It has been used in the preparation of the following liquid media for culturing yeast cells:
* CM glucose broth minus HIS (histidine)
* CM glucose broth minus URA (uracil)
* CM glucose broth minus TRP (tryptophan)

Preparation Note
The material may produce a yellowish solution if prepared at a higher concentration than 2 g + 15mL.
