DEXTROSE ANHYDROUS

Dextrose Anhydrous - Pharma Grade
Packing Size – 25 Kg Bag
COA – Available
Source – Xiwang
A high-purity, crystalline form of D-glucose produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of corn starch. Unlike Dextrose Monohydrate, it contains no water of crystallization, making it more stable and ideal for moisture-sensitive formulations.

Key Applications
Pharmaceutical & Medical
• Intravenous (IV) Fluids: Used as a primary energy source in rehydration and parenteral nutrition.
• Tableting (Excipient): Acts as a filler, binder, or diluent in oral dosage forms (tablets, capsules, and sachets). Its anhydrous nature is vital for drugs that degrade in the presence of moisture.
• Dialysis Solutions: Used in peritoneal dialysis to help remove waste products from the blood.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used as a carrier for animal drugs or as a direct energy supplement.
Biotechnology
• Cell Culture Media: Serves as a vital carbon and energy source for growing microorganisms and mammalian cells in biopharmaceutical production.
Nutraceuticals
• Energy Supplements: Found in sports nutrition and oral rehydration salts (ORS) for rapid glucose delivery to the bloodstream.

4. Storage and Stability
• Stability: Highly stable due to its low water content. It does not cake as easily as the monohydrate version.
• Storage: Should be stored in a cool, dry place in tightly closed containers (typically HDPE bags with LDPE liners) to prevent moisture absorption.
