D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous
D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous (Product Code: SCL-823/156) is water-free glucose powder used as the reference reducing sugar in carbohydrate tests and for making up glucose solutions in school and college laboratories. Chemistry and biology teachers order it as 500 gm of analytical reagent, supplied with an MSDS, for Fehling, Benedict, osmosis and fermentation practicals. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside the school chemistry lab equipment in India that the company offers.

What Is D-Glucose Powder Used For?
In food-test and carbohydrate practicals, a small amount of glucose is dissolved in water and heated with Fehling’s solution, Benedict’s reagent or Tollens’ reagent. The brick-red precipitate or silver mirror that appears is the benchmark against which unknown sugars are judged, which is why teachers who stock Benedict solution in school laboratories usually keep a jar of pure glucose too. Molisch’s test with glucose gives the violet ring that confirms a carbohydrate, and comparing glucose with sucrose shows the difference between reducing and non-reducing sugars.
Biology sections use the same powder to prepare sugar solutions of different strengths for osmosis in potato strips or raisins, and to feed yeast in simple fermentation set-ups. Because the anhydrous form picks up moisture from the air, weigh it quickly, keep the lid screwed down, and scoop with a dry spatula so that the powder stays free-flowing.
Supplier
D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous reaches laboratories through Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an Ambala, Haryana company that does business as ScienceLab. The company sources laboratory reagents like this one for schools, colleges and testing laboratories in India and international markets, and quotes them together with the glassware and heating equipment a practical needs. The company profile describes its range and background.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “anhydrous” mean for D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous?
D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous is the water-free form of glucose, as opposed to glucose monohydrate. Because the anhydrous powder picks up moisture from the air, keep the lid screwed down and weigh portions quickly with a dry spatula.
How much D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous is in one pack?
Each pack of D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous (SCL-823/156) contains 500 gm of analytical reagent grade D-glucose, supplied with an MSDS. Schools usually weigh out small portions for each practical group rather than opening the main pack at the bench.
Is this glucose meant for eating or clinical use?
No. D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous is supplied as a laboratory reagent for experiments and demonstrations, not as a food or clinical product. Store it in the chemical store, clearly labelled, and never with food items or in a kitchen area.
What is the shelf life of D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous?
The shelf life of D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is given here. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the container sealed and dry once opened.
Can I request batch documents for D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous?
The listing for D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous confirms analytical reagent grade and an MSDS. If your purchase procedure needs further batch documents, please ask us before ordering and we will tell you what can be provided.
Who supplies D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous?
D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) of Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources reagents for schools, colleges and laboratories and quotes them together with the related glassware and heating equipment.
Do you handle bulk orders of D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous for several laboratories?
Yes. Multi-pack orders of D-Glucose Powder Anhydrous can be quoted for institutions in India and international markets. Include the number of 500 gm packs, the delivery locations and any other sugar-test reagents you need so the quotation covers everything.
