Description

Used for a variety of applications. Sucrose, MP Biomedicals is a simple carbohydrate isolated from cane sugar; it is not synthetic. Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose that can be used to prepare density gradients, culture media and

Sucrose can be used to prepare density gradients for cell/organelle separation. The refractive index of the solution will be directly related to the density. In addition, sucrose can be used as a supplement in plant, insect, and bacterial culture media. It can also be used in various enzymatic assays.
