Applications
Benedict's Quantitative Solution is a test reagent used for detecting and quantitatively determining the amount of reducing sugars present in a substance.
Dosage and directions
Benedict’s when exposed to reducing sugars, the reactions undergone by Benedict’s reagent result in the formation of a brick-red precipitate, which indicates a positive Benedict’s test.
Characteristics and notes
Benedict's Quantitative Solution contains copper(II) sulfate, sodium citrate, sodium carbonate, potassium thiocyanate, and potassium ferrocyanide. Each plays a role in the determination of reducing sugars:Copper(II) sulfate provides the copper(II) ions that are reduced by the reducing sugar.
Safety and SDS
Read the safety data sheet before handling. Wear suitable gloves and eye protection.

Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166 Use equipment for eye protection
tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal
technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product.
Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good
laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy
the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which differ
from EN 374, contact the supplier of the CE approved gloves. This recommendation is
advisory only and must be evaluated by an industria situation of anticipated use by our
customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific use scenario.
Body Protection
Impervious clothing, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the
concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use (US) or type
ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to enginee protection, use a full-face
supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under
appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
