MedKoo Cat#: 145836 | Name: Indophenol

Description:

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

Indophenol is a deep blue dye formed through the Berthelot reaction, a colorimetric method for detecting ammonia. In this reaction, ammonia reacts with phenol and sodium hypochlorite to produce indophenol, which can be measured spectrophotometrically to determine ammonia concentration. Beyond its analytical applications, indophenol is utilized in hair dyes, lubricants, redox materials, liquid crystal displays, fuel cells, and chemical-mechanical polishing.
