Note: See Appendix A if concentration unit conversion is required.
* For applications requiring linearity performance to 25.0 g/L, YSI 2777 (25.0 g/L dextrose)
may be used as a linearity standard provided the sample size is 10 µL.
** If you have a dual channel unit, either Black or White, or both Black and White probes can
be configured for this chemistry.
Special Considerations:
»
If sample dilution is required, use reagent water or 2357 buffer.
»
If a solution must be prepared from solid dextrose, use the following diluent and allow
about 15 minutes before measuring the sample. This is required for dextrose, which
must equilibrate alpha and beta anomers (mutarotational equilibrium). If your reading
is lower than expected, you may need to wait slightly longer for equilibration.

Both heat and the presence of phosphate accelerate mutarotational equilibration.
