Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Dextrose (D-glucose) is an essential monosaccharide and key metabolic substrate involved in cellular energy production. It serves as a primary energy source for cellular respiration and glycolysis, feeding into central metabolic pathways to generate ATP and biosynthetic precursors. Through these pathways, dextrose supports fundamental biological processes including cellular proliferation, survival, and maintenance of metabolic homeostasis in biological systems. [1]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
