Maltose – 25g (LR Grade)

Maltose is a naturally occurring disaccharide sugar supplied in a convenient 25g pack for use in educational science laboratories. Produced to Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade, this carbohydrate offers reliable quality for teaching, demonstrations, and supervised practical activities.

Identified by CAS No. 6363‑53‑7 and classified as Not Regulated for transport (UN: NR), maltose is easy to store and handle in school laboratory environments. It is clearly labelled to support safe use in line with COSHH requirements and standard school science safety procedures.

Maltose plays an important role in biological and chemical education, helping students understand carbohydrates, digestion, and energy release. Its predictable chemical behaviour makes it particularly suitable for comparative and investigative work alongside other sugars.

Key Features

• Maltose (disaccharide sugar)
• 25g pack size – ideal for school laboratory use
• Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade
• CAS No: 6363‑53‑7
• UN Classification: Not Regulated (NR)
• Water‑soluble crystalline solid

Ideal for School Science Lessons

Maltose is well suited to KS3, GCSE, and A‑Level science lessons, supporting both biology and chemistry topics through practical investigation. When used under appropriate supervision, it is commonly used for:

• Studying carbohydrates and sugar structure
• Comparing reducing and non‑reducing sugars
• Supporting tests such as Benedict’s test
• Exploring digestion and enzyme activity in biology lessons
• Developing accurate measuring and solution‑preparation skills

Familiar, safe to manage, and closely aligned with the secondary science curriculum, this maltose reagent is a valuable teaching resource that helps students link chemical structure with biological function and real‑world relevance.
