Description

Bathocuproinedisulfonic Acid Disodium Salt is a high-purity, water-soluble chelating agent and chromogenic reagent primarily used for the sensitive and selective detection of copper(I) ions. Its disulfonated structure provides excellent solubility in aqueous systems, making it indispensable for analytical and biochemical applications where precise metal ion quantification is critical. This compound is essential for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, environmental testing, and biotechnology sectors.

Application

• Spectrophotometric Copper(I) Assay: Primary reagent for the colorimetric determination of Cu(I) in biological fluids, pharmaceutical formulations, and environmental samples.
• Biochemical Research: Used in enzymatic studies and assays to chelate and quantify copper ions in metalloproteins and cellular processes.
• Diagnostic Kits: A key component in commercial diagnostic kits for measuring ceruloplasmin and other copper-related biomarkers.
• Material Science: Employed in the analysis of copper content and speciation in alloys, catalysts, and electronic materials.
• Food & Beverage Analysis: Applied in testing for trace copper contamination or essential mineral content in food products and water.
• Pharmaceutical QC: Used in purity testing and stability studies of drug substances and products where copper is a potential impurity.

Quality Control

Our Bathocuproinedisulfonic Acid Disodium Salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, spectroscopic identification, and heavy metal screening, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for analytical reagent and research-grade applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance and stability.
