Product Description

Benedict's reagent (often called Benedict's qualitative solution or Benedict's solution) is a chemical reagent and complex mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium citrate, and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate.^[1] It is often used in place of Fehling's solution to detect the presence of reducing sugars. The presence of other reducing substances also gives a positive result.^[2] Such tests that use this reagent are called the Benedict's tests. A positive test with Benedict's reagent is shown by a color change from clear blue to brick-red with a precipitate.

Reliable Qualitative Analysis

Benedicts Reagent is trusted for its accuracy in detecting reducing sugars. The reagent's blue color visibly transitions upon reaction with glucose or fructose, providing a straightforward, qualitative result, crucial for educational demonstrations and biochemical testing.

Safe and Convenient Packaging

The reagent comes in a sealed amber bottle with a leak-proof cap, preserving stability and purity for up to 24 months. Its packaging ensures user safety, preventing spills and protecting the solution from light and heat under recommended storage conditions.

Simple Usage and Process

Using Benedicts Reagent requires mixing measured quantities with your test sample, followed by gentle heating. A color shift indicates the presence of reducing sugars, making it a practical reagent for quick, visual, sugar analysis in laboratories.

FAQ's of BENEDICT'S REAGENT (Qualitative) (500 ML):

Q: How is Benedicts Reagent used to detect reducing sugars?

A: To perform a qualitative test, mix Benedicts Reagent with your sample solution, heat the mixture gently, and observe the color change. A shift from blue to green, yellow, or orange indicates the presence of reducing sugars such as glucose or fructose.

Q: What are the recommended storage conditions for Benedicts Reagent?

A: Store Benedicts Reagent in its tightly closed amber bottle, away from direct sunlight and heat, at room temperature. Proper storage ensures the reagent remains stable and effective for up to 24 months.

Q: When should Benedicts Reagent be used in laboratory analysis?

A: Use Benedicts Reagent for the quick, qualitative identification of reducing sugars during biochemical assays or educational experiments. It provides clear visual results after heating with a suitable test sample.

Q: Where is Benedicts Reagent typically applied?

A: Benedicts Reagent is regularly utilized in biochemical and educational laboratories across India and globally, particularly for the analysis of reducing sugars in solutions.

Q: What benefits does Benedicts Reagent offer over other sugar analysis methods?

A: Benedicts Reagent delivers rapid, easy-to-interpret results through a simple color change, is safe to handle, and is cost-effective for routine educational or research-based experiments.

Q: What precautions should be taken when handling Benedicts Reagent?

A: Although non-flammable and non-poisonous, avoid ingestion and direct contact with skin or eyes. Always handle Benedicts Reagent as you would any laboratory chemical, using gloves and protective eyewear for safety.
