General description

D-Glucose, a monosaccharide carbohydrate also referred to as dextrose or aldohexose, is a vital component in both biochemical research and cell culture studies. Its high purity makes it an excellent source of energy for cells and an important component in metabolic studies.Ideal for use in cellular energy metabolism, fermentation, and other biochemical research applications, our D-Glucose is of high quality and cost-effective. Whether you′re studying the role of glucose in cell cultures or investigating its effect on cellular energy, our D-Glucose is the perfect choice as an ideal solution.

Application

D-(+)-Glucose has been used:
  • as a component of Tris-glucose-EDTA (TGE) buffer for the preparation of bacterial DNA
  • in the preparation of peptide dilution buffer (PDB)
  • in the preparation of M17 broth medium
  • in the preparation of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) buffer, used in phosphate calcium transfection

Features and Benefits

From Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ≥ 99.5 % (GC), BioXtra, Suitable for Cell Culture and Insect Cell Culture

Preparation Note

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

Glucose metabolism is regulated by the opposing actions of insulin and glucagon. Insulin is released from pancreatic ß cells in response to high blood glucose levels and regulates glucose metabolism through its actions on muscle, liver, and adipose tissue.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
