CAS 63126-89-6 — Benedicts Reagent

Benedict’s Reagent is a copper(II) sulfate-based solution used to detect reducing sugars and non-reducing sugars in qualitative chemical analysis, particularly in food, pharmaceutical, and biochemical testing. It reacts with aldehydes and some ketones to form a red precipitate, confirming the presence of glucose, fructose, or maltose. This reagent contains copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate, sodium carbonate, and sodium citrate in aqueous solution. CAS 63126-89-6, molecular weight 475.74 g/mol, stored at ambient conditions.
