ग्लूकोज का कलरिमेट्रिक निर्धारण

DNS विधि का उपयोग करके रक्त ग्लूकोज सादृश्य मापना

Colorimetry Intermediate (High School) 60 मिनट ~$10.00

उद्देश्य

डाइनाइट्रोसैलिसिलिक अम्ल (DNS) कलरिमेट्रिक विधि का उपयोग करके ग्लूकोज सांद्रता निर्धारित करें और अपचायक शर्करा रसायन को समझें।

पृष्ठभूमि

The DNS method is a classic colorimetric assay for reducing sugars. 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (yellow) is reduced by the free aldehyde group of glucose to 3-amino-5-nitrosalicylic acid (orange-red). The color change occurs upon heating, and the intensity at 540 nm is proportional to the reducing sugar concentration. This method is widely used in food science and fermentation monitoring.

सुरक्षा चेतावनियाँ

  • DNS reagent contains NaOH — corrosive to skin
  • Boiling water bath — handle tubes with tongs
  • Cool tubes before opening to prevent splattering
  • DNS reagent stains skin yellow

सामग्री

  • DNS reagent (100 mL)
    1% DNS in NaOH with sodium potassium tartrate
  • Glucose stock solution (100 mL)
    10 mg/mL in water
  • Unknown sugar solution (20 mL)
  • Distilled water (200 mL)

उपकरण

Spectrophotometer or colorimeter Cuvettes Boiling water bath Test tubes (10) with caps Pipettes (1 mL, 5 mL) Ice bath Timer

प्रक्रिया

1

Prepare glucose standards: 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 mg/mL by diluting the stock solution.

10 मिनट
2

Add 1 mL of each standard and the unknown to labeled test tubes. Add 1 mL of DNS reagent to each tube.

5 मिनट DNS contains NaOH
3

Place all tubes in a boiling water bath for exactly 5 minutes. The color changes from yellow to orange-red.

5 मिनट Use tongs for hot tubes
4

Transfer tubes immediately to an ice bath to stop the reaction. Cool for 2 minutes.

2 मिनट
5

Add 8 mL of distilled water to each tube and mix well.

5 मिनट
6

Measure absorbance at 540 nm. Zero with the blank (0 mg/mL glucose).

15 मिनट
7

Plot the calibration curve and determine the glucose concentration of the unknown.

18 मिनट

अपेक्षित परिणाम

A linear calibration curve from 1–10 mg/mL glucose. The color intensifies from pale yellow (blank) to deep orange-red (10 mg/mL). Non-reducing sugars like sucrose give no color change.

सफाई

Neutralize DNS waste with dilute HCl before disposal. Clean test tubes immediately as dried DNS residue is difficult to remove.
