Benedict Solution Extra Pure
Original price was: $ 35.00.$ 34.78Current price is: $ 34.78.
Benedict Solution Extra Pure is a high-purity, blue-colored reagent solution widely used in laboratory settings for the qualitative detection of reducing sugars, such as glucose and fructose. It contains copper(II) sulfate, sodium citrate, and sodium carbonate, which react with reducing sugars under heat to form a colored precipitate ranging from green to brick red, depending on sugar concentration. This makes it essential in biochemical and educational laboratories for carbohydrate analysis and metabolic studies. The extra pure grade ensures consistent composition and reliable colorimetric response, supporting accurate and reproducible results in teaching and research environments. It should be stored in a cool, dark place in a tightly sealed container to maintain stability and prevent degradation.
Benedict Solution Extra Pure
Primary Uses
- Detection of Reducing Sugars
- Benedict’s solution is widely used to test for the presence of reducing sugars (e.g., glucose, fructose, maltose) in qualitative carbohydrate analysis.
- Upon heating with a reducing sugar, it forms a brick-red precipitate of cuprous oxide (Cu₂O), indicating a positive result.
- Educational Demonstrations in Carbohydrate Chemistry
- Commonly used in school and university teaching labs to demonstrate color change reactions, oxidation-reduction, and sugar classification.
- Semi-Quantitative Estimation of Sugar Levels
- In some cases, the intensity of the color change (blue → green → yellow → orange → red) is used to estimate approximate sugar concentration in a sample.
Secondary Uses
- Urinalysis Simulations in Clinical Chemistry Training
- Used in lab simulations for clinical biochemistry, especially to mimic testing for glucosuria (presence of glucose in urine).
- Teaching Redox Chemistry
- Demonstrates redox principles, where Cu²⁺ (blue) is reduced to Cu⁺ (red precipitate), and the sugar is oxidized — ideal for oxidation-reduction education.
- Comparison with Other Sugar Reagents
- In comparative studies with Fehling’s solution, Tollen’s reagent, or Barfoed’s reagent, it helps differentiate mono- and disaccharides, or reducing vs. non-reducing sugars.
- Baseline Control in Analytical Method Development
- Serves as a reference reagent in developing or validating newer methods of sugar detection in complex matrices.
