Barfoed’s Reagent Solution is a high-quality laboratory reagent used in biochemistry to distinguish between monosaccharides and disaccharides through a reduction reaction. This reagent contains copper(II) acetate in dilute acetic acid, which reacts with reducing sugars when heated, forming a red cuprous oxide precipitate.

At Labtex Bangladesh, we supply ready-to-use Barfoed’s Reagent Solution (Lab Grade) prepared to precise laboratory standards. It ensures reliable and accurate results in qualitative carbohydrate testing, biochemical experiments, and academic research.
