General description

D-Glucose, a monosaccharide carbohydrate[1] 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.[2]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[3]
  • in the preparation of peptide dilution buffer (PDB)[4]
  • in the preparation of M17 broth medium[5]
  • in the preparation of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) buffer, used in phosphate calcium transfection[6]

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.

Questions

1–7 of 7 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  5. Can solutions of Product G7528, D-(+)-Glucose, be autoclaved?

    1 answer
    1. Yes, solutions can be autoclaved.

  6. How does the storage temperature relate to shipping conditions?

    1 answer
    1. The storage conditions that a Sigma-Aldrich catalog and label recommend for products are deliberately conservative. For many products, long-term storage at low temperatures will increase the time during which they are expected to remain in specification and therefore are labeled accordingly. Where short-term storage, shipping time frame, or exposure to conditions other than those recommended for long-term storage will not affect product quality, Sigma-Aldrich will ship at ambient temperature. The products sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than their recommended long-term storage are shipped on wet or dry ice. Ambient temperature shipping helps to control shipping costs for our customers. At any time, our customers can request wet- or dry-ice shipment, but the special handling is at customer expense if our product history indicates that the product is stable for regular shipment.

  7. Is Product G7528, D-(+)-Glucose, the alpha or the beta form of D-(+)-Glucose?

    1 answer
    1. This product is a mixture of alpha and beta anomers, although it is primarily the alpha anomer.
