Bathocuproinedisulfonic acid disodium salt is used for the determination of iron, copper and uric acid. It is also used as a stain for proteins in polyacrylamide gels.
Used as a stain for proteins in polyacrylamide gels; for determination of iron and copper; and uric acid by automated proceduresBathocuproin sulfonate disodium salt hydrate is a mixture of isomers suitable for the determination of iron and copper. It is also used as a stain for proteins in polyacrylamide gels.
Inorganic pKEst~0 salts and some coloured species can be removed by dissolving the crude material in the minimum volume of water and precipitating by adding EtOH. The purified reagent can be obtained by careful evaporation of the filtrate. Recrystallise it from EtOH and dry it in a vacuum at room temperature in the dark. [Lorenzo et al.
