    This document describes how to perform the Tollens' test to identify reducing sugars. The test involves adding silver nitrate solution and sodium hydroxide to make Tollens' reagent. Then 2-5 drops each of sucrose, starch, lactose and glucose are added to separate test tubes along with 5 drops of Tollens' reagent and aqueous ammonia. A silver mirror forming in the tubes containing sucrose and glucose indicates a positive reducing sugar test.
