Fehling’s Solution No. 2 (Alkaline Tartrate) – 500ml

Fehling’s Solution No. 2 is the alkaline tartrate component of the classic Fehling’s reagent system, supplied ready‑prepared in a 500ml bottle for use in educational science laboratories. When combined with Fehling’s Solution No. 1, it forms an effective reagent for detecting reducing sugars through a clear and visually engaging chemical reaction.

This prepared laboratory solution has a UN Number of 3266 and does not have a specific CAS number, as it is a formulated mixture rather than a single compound. Clearly labelled and supplied ready to use, it provides consistent, reliable performance while reducing preparation time for teachers and technicians.
