Product Overview

Biuret Reagent is a meticulously formulated solution essential for qualitative and quantitative analysis of proteins in various laboratory settings. This widely recognized reagent is designed to detect the presence of peptide bonds, which are characteristic of proteins. When Biuret Reagent interacts with proteins in an alkaline medium, a distinct purple coloration develops, indicating a positive result. The intensity of this color is directly proportional to the concentration of protein present, making it an invaluable tool for spectrophotometric quantification. Our Biuret Reagent is manufactured under strict quality control standards, ensuring high purity and consistent performance for reliable experimental outcomes. It is suitable for a broad spectrum of biochemical assays, from fundamental identification tasks to more complex quantitative studies. The reagent is prepared for immediate use, reducing preparation time and enhancing workflow efficiency in busy laboratories. Its stability and precision make it an indispensable component for researchers, students, and educators seeking accurate and repeatable protein analysis. Whether for routine testing or specific research projects, this Biuret Reagent provides the clarity and accuracy required for significant scientific discovery and learning.

2. How should Biuret Reagent be stored to maintain its efficacy?
Biuret Reagent should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the bottle is tightly capped to prevent evaporation and contamination.

3. Can Biuret Reagent detect amino acids?
No, Biuret Reagent specifically detects peptide bonds, which are present in proteins and polypeptides. It does not react with free amino acids as they lack these bonds.

4. Are there any specific safety precautions when handling Biuret Reagent?
Yes, Biuret Reagent contains strong alkali (sodium hydroxide) and copper sulfate. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety goggles and gloves, and handle in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

5. What color indicates a positive result with Biuret Reagent?
A positive result for the presence of proteins or peptides is indicated by the development of a violet or purple color. A pink color may indicate the presence of short-chain polypeptides.

FAQs
