Sucrose is a simple carbohydrate. A disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose, which is used for a variety of applications. It is isolated from cane sugar; it is not synthetic. Sucrose can be used to prepare density gradients for cell/organelle separation. The refractive index of the…

Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. Sucrose can be used to prepare density gradients for cell/organelle separation. It is used as a supplement in plant, insect, and bacterial culture media. It can also be used in various enzymatic assays.

Sucrose is a nonreducing disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose, linked via their anomeric carbons. It is obtained commercially from Sugarcane, sugar beet (Beta vulgaris), and other plants and used extensively as a food and a sweetener. Use to create sucrose gradients for purification of…
