Smith Reagent – 500ml Packs

Smith Reagent is an educational biochemical solution prepared specifically to support curriculum-guided qualitative testing and student practical coursework. It provides biology and biochemistry educators with an accessible testing reagent for demonstrating oxidation reactions of biological pigments.

In college laboratory sessions and university teaching spaces, this reagent is utilized to perform the classic Smith’s test for bile pigments in biological fluids. When layered over test samples, the oxidation of bilirubin produces a distinctive emerald-green ring at the junction, providing students with an unmistakable visual indicator of pigment presence.

This laboratory reagent is well suited for educational laboratory practicals focused on clinical biochemistry principles and qualitative organic testing. It reinforces theoretical classroom lessons on pigment oxidation through clear student observations.

Store in a tightly capped amber bottle in a cool chemical cupboard away from heat and light. Students should wear standard laboratory coats, safety glasses, and gloves during all practicals.
