D-(+)-Glucose anhydrous cell culture tested is a pure, non-hygroscopic form of glucose, widely used as a carbon source in cell culture media to support growth and metabolism. It is also employed in biochemical research, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and as a reference standard in analytical assays. More broadly, glucose serves as a fermentation feedstock for producing amino acids such as lysine, an ingredient in confectionery, baking and brewing, and a carbohydrate source in pharmaceutical formulations. This product has a CAS number of 50-99-7, with a molecular formula of C6H12O6 and a molecular weight of 180.16 g/mol. It is suitable for storage at ambient conditions and carries no signal word for hazard classification. Molekula supplies D-(+)-Glucose anhydrous cell culture tested from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
