Product Code : SCL-LC-12173
Dextrose Extra Pure (SKU SCL-LC-12173) is dextrose, the common name for D-glucose, supplied as a carbohydrate reagent for chemistry, biology, microbiology and analytical laboratories. Teachers and lab staff use it to make glucose solutions, run reducing-sugar tests and provide a sugar source in biology work. For schools with supervised labs, colleges, research labs, tender contractors and distributors, supply is arranged by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India.
Specifications
Dextrose is a simple sugar, D-glucose, listed under CAS 50-99-7 for the anhydrous form. It is also sold as a monohydrate, so the hydrate form, assay and pack size of each batch are confirmed on the label and quotation. The “Extra Pure” descriptor comes from the product name.

Applications and Experiments for Dextrose Extra Pure
Glucose is the model reducing sugar, so dextrose is the usual positive control in carbohydrate tests and a standard for making sugar solutions in biology and biochemistry. It also serves in microbiology exercises that need a specified sugar and in weighing and solution-preparation training.
- Class 12 chemistry: tests for carbohydrates such as Molisch's, Fehling's and Benedict's tests.
- School biology: food tests showing the presence of reducing sugar.
- B.Sc. biochemistry: estimation of glucose and preparation of standard solutions.
- 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. The net weight is stated on the quotation; test reagents such as Benedict's or Fehling's solutions are ordered as separate items.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Small schools may need a single container, while colleges often buy a term's supply for several labs. The quotation 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. Place items in the enquiry cart, send a message via the contact page, or consult the lab tender page for tender purchases.
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 supplies it from Ambala, India, preparing quotations for schools, colleges, research labs, contractors and distributors for any quantity.
