High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis

Overview

Glucose, also known as D-glucose, is a naturally occurring monosaccharide with the molecular formula C6H12O6. It is the most abundant monosaccharide and a key player in energy metabolism across all organisms. Our high-purity glucose reference materials are essential for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

Uses

Glucose is used extensively in various fields including food and beverage production, pharmaceuticals, and biological research. It serves as a primary energy source in cellular metabolism and is a critical component in the production of ATP.

Regulatory

Glucose is listed on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. It is regulated under various international standards to ensure safety and efficacy in its applications.

Monitoring

Monitoring glucose levels is crucial in clinical settings, particularly for managing diabetes. Accurate glucose measurement is also essential in food and environmental analysis to ensure product safety and compliance with regulatory limits.

Health Impact

Glucose is vital for human health as it is the primary source of energy for the body's cells. However, imbalances in glucose levels can lead to conditions such as diabetes.

Human Toxicity

While glucose is generally safe, excessive intake can lead to hyperglycemia, which can cause serious health issues including cardiovascular diseases, nerve damage, and kidney failure.

Environmental Impact

Glucose is biodegradable and poses minimal environmental risk. However, it can contribute to the growth of microorganisms in aquatic systems, potentially leading to eutrophication.

Effects on Wildlife

Glucose itself is not harmful to wildlife, but its presence in water bodies can promote algal blooms, which can negatively impact aquatic ecosystems.

Safety Measure

Proper handling and storage of glucose are essential to maintain its stability and purity. It should be stored in a cool, dry place and protected from light and moisture.

Regulation

Glucose is regulated by various international bodies, including the FDA, EMA, and WHO. Compliance with these regulations ensures the safety and efficacy of glucose in its various applications.

Analytical Standards

Our glucose reference materials are produced according to the highest industrial standards and are tested to meet international quality requirements. These standards ensure the accuracy and reliability of residue analysis in food and environmental testing.
