Sucrose (Saccharose) Test Strips (catalogue No. 116141) are ready-to-use reflectometric strips for the quantitative measurement of sucrose in beverages such as soft drinks, fruit juices and other aqueous samples. The strips operate by an enzymatic reaction that converts sucrose to detectable products, with results obtained using an RQflex 20 reflectometer and a measuring range from 0.25 to 2.50 g/L. This test supports quality control and rapid screening in food and beverage laboratories.
Sucrose (Saccharose) Test Strips, catalogue No. 116141, are reflectometric test strips supplied by Merck designed for quantitative analysis of sucrose concentration in liquid samples, including beverages and food products. The test uses an enzymatic reaction specific to sucrose to generate a measurable colour change detected by a reflectometer such as the RQflex 20. With a measuring range of 0.25–2.50 g/L, these strips are suitable for monitoring sucrose levels in soft drinks, fruit juices and related applications requiring accurate sugar analysis.
Advantages
- Quantitative reflectometric measurement of sucrose.
