Dextrose Extra Pure
Product Code : SCL-LC-12173
Dextrose Extra Pure (SKU SCL-LC-12173) is dextrose, the common name for D-glucose, offered as a carbohydrate reagent for chemistry, biology, microbiology and analytical laboratories. It suits glucose-solution preparation, reducing-sugar tests and biology work that needs a specified sugar source. Schools with supervised labs, colleges, research labs, tender contractors and distributors can place enquiries with Science Lab Supplies, which arranges supply from Ambala, India.
Specifications
Dextrose identity, hydrate options and storage needs are summarised in the table below. In short, it is D-glucose, a simple reducing sugar with CAS 50-99-7 for the anhydrous form; because a monohydrate also exists, the hydrate form, assay and pack size of each batch are confirmed on the label and quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Dextrose Extra Pure
Glucose is the model reducing sugar, so dextrose can serve as the positive control in carbohydrate tests and as the standard for sugar solutions in biology and biochemistry. It also suits microbiology exercises that need a specified sugar, plus training in weighing and solution preparation.
- Class 12 chemistry: Molisch's, Fehling's and Benedict's tests for carbohydrates, run in Test Tubes and warmed over a 150 mm Beck Bunsen burner.
- School biology: food tests showing the presence of reducing sugar.
- B.Sc. biochemistry: estimation of glucose, with standard solutions made up in a Volumetric Flask.
- B.Sc. microbiology: sugar utilisation and fermentation exercises where dextrose is specified.
Avoid dust, ingestion and eye contact, and do not use this reagent for food, medical, pharmaceutical or culture-media production unless the grade and intended use are verified. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Standard Scope of Supply
Dextrose Extra Pure is packed in a sealed container carrying a label with batch, grade and assay details, in tamper-sealed outer packing with export documentation. The net weight is stated on the quotation, and other sugars, test chemicals or glassware can be added to the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can be made for a single container or for a term's supply across several labs. It names the pack size, packing, delivery time and price for your quantity, and related sugars and test chemicals can be included on it.
Registered as an exporter and holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and Zambia. Biology and microbiology labs can ask for dextrose prices through the contact page, gather sugars and glassware in the enquiry cart, or use the lab tender page for formal tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is dextrose the same as glucose?
Yes. Dextrose is the common name for D-glucose, the simple sugar used as the reference reducing sugar in carbohydrate tests. The hydrate form of your batch is shown on the label.
What does Extra Pure mean on this product?
Extra Pure is part of the product name. The assay and grade for the batch offered appear on the label and quotation; if your method needs a particular grade, ask through the contact page.
Can it be used in school practicals?
Yes, in authorised school laboratories under trained supervision, mainly for sugar tests and solution preparation. It is a laboratory reagent and must not be eaten or used as food.
Who supplies Dextrose Extra Pure?
Science Lab Supplies prepares the quotations for this reagent at Ambala, India, covering any quantity for schools, colleges, research labs, contractors and distributors, with the hydrate form, grade and pack size stated.
