Sucrose is a non-reducing disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose linked via their anomeric carbons. It is obtained commercially from sugarcane, sugar beet, and other plants and used extensively as a food and a sweetener. The mixture of glucose and fructose is known as "invert sugar."


  • DNAse and RNAse free
  • Concentrations of Heavy metals (as Pb): <5 ppm
  • Glucose: <0.1%


Sucrose is a simple carbohydrate used in density gradients and is hydrolyzed to glucose and fructose by dilute acids and by invertase, a yeast enzyme. Upon hydrolysis the optical rotation falls and is negative when the hydrolysis is complete. The mixture of glucose and fructose is known as "invert sugar." In a few cases, such as in riboflavin deficient diets, sucrose is preferred over corn starch due to its interactions in the gut to decrease intestinal synthesis of riboflavin, whereas corn starch has the opposite effect .It is used as a source of carbon in media and animal diet.8.5% (w/v) sucrose was used in dielectrophoretic field-flow fractionation (dFFF) that allows the rapid and convenient analysis of bulk cell suspensions (Sittisak Pui-ock,(2008),Dielectrophoretic Field-Flow Fractionation System for Detection of Aquatic Toxicants,Analytical Chemistry,80(20),pages: 7727-7734).
