BIALS ORCINOL REAGENT is a fine chemical product from the brand RESEARCH-LAB FINE CHEM INDUSTRIES. It is also known as 5-Methylbenzene-1,3-diol. Molecular Formula: C7H8O2Molecular Weight: 124.13 g/mol (anhydr.)Quantity: 100 ml/BottleMelting point: 110.0 to 110.5 CThe product is a is a natural phenolic organic compound used in Bial's test. The test is used to detect the presence of pentose. In the test reaction, the pentose will be dehydrated to form furfural which will then react with the orcinol to produce a colored element which can be determined via relevant wavelength.
