Ammonium reineckate by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as Reinecke's salt, this is an ammonium salt. This reagent is available as a dark red crystalline powder which is soluble in boiling water, acetone, and ethanol. It has a melting point at 270 C and decomposes upon boiling. Ammonium reineckate can be prepared by treating molten NH4SCN with (NH4)2Cr2O7. CAS No.: 13573-16-5 Quantity Provided: 25 gm per bottle Molecular Formula: C4H10CrN7S4.H2O Molecular Weight: 354.44 Assay: Minimum 95 %Ammonium reineckate has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent has been widely used to precipitate primary and secondary amines as their ammonium salts. It is additionally a color reagent and precipitant for mercury, giving a red colour or precipitate. Ammonium reineckate participates in the quantitative precipitation of histones as well as basic compounds present in an acid tissue extract by forming reineckate complexes. This compound may additionally be used for the fabrication of bulk Meldola blue-zirconium phosphate-Reinecke salt screen-printed electrodes. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
