D-Sorbitol, Molecular Biology Reagent, ≥98%, MP Biomedicals™

Description

D-Sorbitol, Molecular Biology Reagent, ≥98% may be used to induce osmotic stress, and for washing spheroplasts and in isoelectric focusing to minimize endoosmotic flow in agarose gels.

• D-Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol that is commonly used as a sugar substitute.
• It occurs naturally and is also produced synthetically from glucose.
• The food industry uses D-sorbitol as an additive in the form of a sweetener, humectant, emulsifier, thickener, or dietary supplement.
• D-Sorbitol has also been found in cosmetics, paper, and pharmaceuticals.
• Naturally, D-sorbitol occurs widely in plants via photosynthesis, ranging from algae to higher order fruits of the family Rosaceae.
