Description

D(+)-Glucose CAS NO 50-99-7 is the naturally occurring dextrorotatory enantiomer of glucose, a fundamental monosaccharide and a primary source of energy in biological systems. This high-purity dextrose is critical for processes requiring a specific stereochemical configuration, ensuring optimal performance in fermentation, biochemical synthesis, and cell culture media. It serves as an essential raw material and intermediate for leading manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food & beverage, and cosmetic industries worldwide.

Application

• Pharmaceutical & Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing: As a key energy source and carbon substrate in microbial fermentation for antibiotic and vitamin production, and in mammalian cell culture media for monoclonal antibodies and vaccines.
• Food & Beverage Industry: Used as a sweetener, fermentable sugar in baking and brewing, and a texturizer in confectionery and dairy products, often meeting Food Chemical Codex (FCC) standards.
• Intravenous (IV) Solutions & Dialysates: Serves as a sterile, pyrogen-free carbohydrate source in parenteral nutrition and rehydration fluids, requiring compliance with pharmacopeial monographs (USP/EP).
• Diagnostic Reagents & Microbiology: A fundamental component in culture media for clinical diagnostics and microbiological testing, and in enzymatic assay kits for blood glucose monitoring.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a humectant and skin-conditioning agent in moisturizing creams, lotions, and other skincare formulations.
• Industrial Fermentation & Biochemical Research: A preferred carbon source for producing organic acids, amino acids, enzymes, and biofuels through controlled fermentation processes.

Quality Control

Our D(+)-Glucose is manufactured under a strict quality management system. We offer grades compliant with major pharmacopeial standards including USP, EP, BP, and JP, as well as FCC for food applications. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing for identity, purity, and specific impurities to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the original container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking and degradation.
