Product Code : SCL-LC-12298
Sucrose Crystal (SKU SCL-LC-12298) is laboratory sucrose, the disaccharide C12H22O11, in crystalline form. It can be used for osmosis experiments, solution-concentration and solubility work, crystallisation and carbohydrate tests that show a non-reducing sugar, and it suits supervised chemistry and biology practicals in schools and colleges. Science Lab Supplies arranges this reagent from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors that request a quotation.
Specifications
Every property of the sucrose crystals sits in its own row below. In a sentence, the sugar has CAS number 57-50-1 and a molecular weight of 342.2965 g/mol, dissolves readily for solutions of known concentration, and is laboratory material rather than food, with grade and crystal size fixed on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Sucrose Crystal
In biology, sucrose solutions of different strengths drive water into or out of plant tissue, making osmosis visible. In chemistry, the crystals show solubility, saturation and recrystallisation, and in carbohydrate tests sucrose gives a negative result with reagents that detect reducing sugars until it has been hydrolysed.
- Class 11 biology: demonstrating osmosis with a potato osmometer.
- Class 12 chemistry: tests for carbohydrates in the biomolecules practicals.
- Class 9 science: solutions, concentration and saturation, making up each strength in a Volumetric Flask or measuring water in a Measuring Cylinder Glass.
- Crystallisation by evaporation of a saturated solution.
Standard Scope of Supply
The item is supplied as one pack of sucrose crystals in the quantity quoted, bearing a batch label and accompanied by the Safety Data Sheet and the transport or test documents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Tell us whether you want a single pack or stock for a whole biology and chemistry department, and the quotation will give packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Other sugars, reagents and chemistry lab equipment in India can go on the same quotation.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda. Osmosis and carbohydrate practicals can be costed by writing in on the contact page or by placing the sucrose and its glassware in the enquiry cart; for tendered supply, see the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is laboratory sucrose the same as table sugar?
Chemically both are sucrose, but laboratory sucrose is not handled or documented as food. Do not taste or eat it; use it only for laboratory procedures unless food-grade documents are supplied.
Why is sucrose called a non-reducing sugar?
Its two sugar units are joined in a way that leaves no free reducing group, so it does not react with reducing-sugar test reagents until it is hydrolysed into glucose and fructose.
Can sucrose dust be a hazard?
Yes. Fine dust can irritate the eyes and airways, and finely dispersed dust may present a dust-explosion risk. Avoid dust clouds, clean spills promptly and store it away from strong oxidisers.
Who supplies the Sucrose Crystal?
Enquiries for this sugar reagent are answered by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, with a quotation that states the grade and pack size of the batch and can include osmosis or crystallisation glassware.
