Sucrose, also known as Saccharose or table sugar, is a naturally occurring disaccharide carbohydrate with the chemical formula C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁. It is commonly used in laboratory analysis, biochemical research, microbiological studies, culture media preparation, and scientific experiments involving carbohydrates and sugar solutions.
Sucrose, also known as Saccharose, is a naturally occurring disaccharide with the chemical formula C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ and CAS Number 57-50-1. It consists of one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule linked through a glycosidic bond. It is typically supplied as a white, odourless crystalline powder or granules with a sweet taste and high solubility in water.
Sucrose is valued as a carbohydrate source and a component in various laboratory and scientific procedures. Common laboratory applications include the preparation of aqueous sugar solutions, biochemical experiments, density gradient preparation, microbiological culture media, and research involving carbohydrate metabolism. It is also used in food science, fermentation studies, plant biology, and various specialised research applications.
Its water solubility and well-established chemical properties make Sucrose useful in biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, food science, and general laboratory research. The appropriate grade and purity should be selected according to the requirements of the intended application.
KSFE Malaysia supplies laboratory chemicals and scientific products for research institutions, educational facilities, and general laboratory applications.
Safety Note: Sucrose is generally considered a low-hazard substance under normal laboratory handling conditions. However, airborne sugar dust may cause respiratory irritation and, at sufficiently high concentrations, may present a combustible dust hazard. Avoid inhaling excessive dust and prevent contact with the eyes. Handle it in a clean, well-ventilated area using appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety goggles and gloves. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and incompatible substances. Follow the supplier's safety data sheet (SDS) for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
