Dragendorff reagent

Catalog No.: A89241
Alkaloids Detection Agent
Dragendorff Reagent is a diagnostic agent primarily utilized for the detection of alkaloids and other nitrogen-containing compounds. Composed of potassium bismuth iodide, Basic bismuth nitrate (Bi(NO3)3), tartaric acid, and potassium iodide (KI), this reagent generates an orange or orange-red precipitate upon interaction with alkaloids. It is widely employed in chemical research and analytical applications to identify and characterize alkaloid compounds in various samples.
