FAQs
1. What is the solubility of Neocuproine 99% AR?
Neocuproine is soluble in organic solvents like chloroform, ethanol, and methanol but has limited solubility in water. For aqueous applications, it is typically dissolved in alcohol first.
2. Can this reagent detect copper in the presence of other metals?
Neocuproine exhibits high selectivity for copper(I) ions, though some interference may occur with silver or mercury. Pre-treatment with masking agents can improve specificity in complex samples.
3. What is the recommended storage condition for this product?
Store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, protected from light and moisture. Avoid exposure to strong oxidizing agents to maintain stability.
4. Is this suitable for quantitative copper analysis in water samples?
Yes, when used with proper sample preparation and calibration standards, Neocuproine 99% AR can accurately quantify copper in water matrices through spectrophotometric methods.
5. What alternatives exist for copper detection?
Alternatives include bathocuproine, cuprizone, or atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), though neocuproine remains preferred for its simplicity and sensitivity in visible spectrophotometry.
