Diphenylthiocarbazone (Dithizone), ACS Reagent
Manufacturer: LabChem Inc.
Diphenylthiocarbazone, universally known as Dithizone, from LabChem Inc. is a high-sensitivity organic reagent and metal indicator. It is the industry standard for the colorimetric determination and extraction of trace heavy metals, particularly Lead, Mercury, and Cadmium. Its ability to form intensely colored, stable complexes (dithizonates) in organic solvents makes it indispensable for environmental water testing and toxicological research.

Lead Times May Vary.
Features:
- Exceptional Sensitivity: Capable of detecting metals at parts-per-billion (ppb) levels, making it ideal for monitoring environmental pollution and food safety.
- Metal Specificity: Selectivity is highly manageable through pH adjustment and the use of masking agents, allowing for the isolation of specific ions like Lead (Pb2+) or Mercury (Hg2+).
- Visual Colorimetry: Transitions from a green solution to distinctive shades of orange, red, or purple upon complex formation, allowing for both qualitative spot tests and quantitative spectrophotometry.
- NIST Traceable Quality: Manufactured under LabChem’s rigorous ACS standards to ensure the highest reliability in forensic and analytical workflows.
Safety & Handling:
WARNING! Potentially Hazardous: Dithizone is toxic if absorbed in large quantities and is a suspected irritant. It can also be toxic to specific biological tissues in research settings.
- Personal Protection: Wear appropriate PPE, including nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Handle powder in a well-ventilated area to prevent dust inhalation.
- Storage: Store at room temperature in the original, light-resistant amber glass bottle. Keep tightly sealed in a cool, dry area.
- Handling: Avoid contact with strong oxidizers and bases. Ensure glassware is meticulously cleaned, as Dithizone is extremely sensitive to trace metal contamination.
