Schiff’s Reagent – 500ml Packs

Schiff’s Reagent is an established organic testing reagent widely utilized across academic institutions to demonstrate aldehyde functional group chemistry. It provides instructors with a sensitive, ready-to-use colorimetric solution for qualitative organic analysis.

In school and college chemistry practicals, this reagent is used to differentiate aldehydes from ketones. Upon reacting with aldehydes, the decolored fuchsin dye promptly restores its characteristic deep magenta color, offering students a striking visual confirmation of carbonyl reactivity without requiring heat. It is also applied in biology practicals for demonstrating cellular aldehyde staining.

This educational laboratory chemical supports structured curriculum experiments, helping students master functional group identification and colorimetric testing. It represents a vital component for academic chemistry supply stores.

Keep tightly sealed in an amber bottle in a cool chemical refrigerator to prevent premature discoloration. Students should wear protective gloves and safety spectacles to prevent staining.
