Lead Times May Vary.
Features:
- High Sensitivity: Reacts rapidly with the alpha-position of pyrrole and indole rings to produce a distinct pink-to-violet chromophore.
- Clinical Reliability: Used as a primary screening reagent for porphobilinogen and urobilinogen, assisting in the diagnosis of various metabolic and hepatic disorders.
- Ready-to-Use Formula: Pre-mixed with the exact ratio of acid to DMAB required for standard protocols, eliminating the variability and hazards of manual preparation.
- Broad Utility: Essential for the identification of specific pharmaceutical compounds, natural products (like ergot alkaloids), and specialized biological research.
Safety & Handling:
DANGER! Corrosive & Flammable: Contains Hydrochloric Acid and Ethanol. Can cause severe skin burns, eye damage, and is highly flammable.
- Personal Protection: Use nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Handle only in a fume hood to avoid inhaling acidic vapors.
- Storage: Store in a "flammables" safety cabinet away from heat, sparks, and oxidizing agents. Keep the bottle tightly closed and protected from light.
- Disposal: Dispose of as hazardous chemical waste in accordance with local and federal regulations.
