Place 5 ml of reagent solution in a test tube and add 0.5 ml of sugary analysis solution. Heat in a water bath at 100 °C for several minutes. If reducing sugars are present, cloudiness will occur, the colour of which depends on the sugar concentration. The sugar content of the analysis solution increases from green (traces) to yellow and orange to red. If the sugar concentration is very low, slight cloudiness will only occur after cooling.
Long-lasting ready-to-use solution for detecting reducing sugars. Less alkaline alternative to Fehling’s reagent.

General information
Benedict reagent:
As variant for Fehling’s test, also for verification of reduced sugars. Due to the different composition, the Benedict reagent is less alkaline and more stable (due to the citrate) than the Fehling solutions.
