Product Overview
Seliwan Off’s Reagent is a precisely formulated chemical solution fundamental for qualitative analytical procedures in various scientific disciplines. This reagent is specifically designed for the detection of ketose sugars, distinguishing them from aldose sugars through a characteristic color change reaction. Composed of resorcinol and hydrochloric acid, its efficacy relies on the dehydration of ketoses to form furfural derivatives, which then condense with resorcinol to produce a cherry-red color. The stringent manufacturing process ensures a high level of purity and consistency, critical for reproducible and dependable experimental outcomes. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to meet established laboratory standards, making it a reliable choice for critical applications where accuracy is paramount. Its stable formulation provides a consistent performance over its shelf life when stored correctly, minimizing variability in experimental results. This reagent is an indispensable component in biochemistry, food science, and general chemistry laboratories, providing a clear and visual indication for the presence of specific carbohydrate types, aiding in comprehensive analytical assessments. Its robust composition is tailored to support a broad spectrum of investigative and confirmatory tests, affirming its utility as a core laboratory consumable. The careful balancing of components within Seliwan Off’s Reagent ensures optimal reactivity and clarity of results, which is essential for both foundational experiments and advanced research. Its reliability contributes significantly to efficient lab operations, reducing the need for retesting and ensuring that findings are trustworthy and actionable.
FAQs
1. What is Seliwan Off’s Reagent primarily used for?
Seliwan Off’s Reagent is primarily used for the qualitative detection of ketose sugars, allowing for their differentiation from aldose sugars in a sample.
2. Can this reagent differentiate between all types of carbohydrates?
No, Seliwan Off’s Reagent specifically targets ketose sugars. It will typically give a positive result (cherry-red color) for ketoses, while aldoses will react much slower or show a different color.
3. What are the recommended storage conditions for Seliwan Off’s Reagent?
It should be stored in a cool, dark place, preferably at room temperature (15-30°C), and kept in its original tightly sealed container to maintain its stability and efficacy.
4. How is the quality of the Seliwan Off’s Reagent ensured?
Each batch of Seliwan Off’s Reagent undergoes rigorous quality control testing to confirm its reactivity, purity, and adherence to specified chemical standards, ensuring consistent and reliable performance for laboratory applications.
5. Are there any precautions to consider when using this reagent?
Yes, Seliwan Off’s Reagent contains strong acids. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection, and work under a fume hood. Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes.
