Product Overview
Dimethylglyoxime LR is a highly selective organic reagent widely used in analytical chemistry for the detection and quantitative determination of nickel ions. This laboratory-grade chemical forms stable, insoluble complexes with nickel, making it indispensable for qualitative and gravimetric analysis. Its high purity ensures minimal interference in sensitive applications, providing reliable results in complexometric titrations and spot tests. The compound is particularly valued for its ability to produce a distinctive red precipitate with nickel ions, even at low concentrations, which simplifies visual detection. As a fine, crystalline powder, it dissolves readily in organic solvents and alkaline solutions, maintaining stability under standard laboratory conditions. The reagent’s consistent performance and low impurity profile make it a preferred choice for research and routine testing where precision is critical. Proper storage in a cool, dry place preserves its reactivity and extends shelf life, ensuring long-term utility in laboratory settings.
