MedKoo Cat#: 592537 | Name: Dicarboxidine

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Dicarboxidine is a chromogen for the detection of barbiturates, meprobamate and some other sedatives on thin-layer chromatograms. Dicarboxidine is a safe substitute for conventional benzidine type reagents. Dicarboxidine can be used for detection of N-Boc-protected amino acids and peptides by TLC. Dicarboxidine is a substrate for peroxidases as horse radish peroxidase.
