    General description

    Benedict′s reagents comprise of copper sulphate, sodium carbonate which functions as a mild alkali, and sodium citrate. It is quite stable. On boiling this reagent with glucose, it gives a white precipitate of cuprous thiocyanate. It is primarily used for the estimation of glucose in urine.[1]

    Application

    Benedict′s reagent may be used during TLC analysis of mesocotyl methanol extracts during a study to evaluate sorghum resistance associated with accumulation of undetected toxic host metabolites.[2] It may also be also be used to synthesize an SEM image of the cubic shaped Cu2O with smooth surface.[3]

    Other Notes

    Reagent used for the detection of reducing sugars and other reducing substances; detection limit: 0.01 % glucose in water[4]
