| Ehrlich's diazo reagent | Two solutions, one of sodium nitrite, the other of acidified sulfanilic acid, used in bringing about diazotization. Synonym: Ehrlich's diazo reagent. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Erdmann's reagent | A mixture of sulfuric and nitric acids, used in testing alkaloids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Esbach's reagent | Picric acid, citric acid, and water (in the proportions 1, 2, and 97) used for the detection of albumin in the urine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Exton reagent | 50 g sulfosalicylic acid and 200g Na2SO4-10H2O in a liter of water, used as a test for albumin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Uffelmann's reagent | To a 2% solution of phenol in water is added to aqueous ferric chloride until the solution becomes violet in colour; this turns lemon yellow in the presence of lactic acid, assumes an opaline tint in butyric acid, and is decolorised by hydrochloric acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fehling's reagent | An alkaline copper tartrate solution formerly used for detection of reducing sugars. Synonym: Fehling's reagent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Feulgen reagent | <chemical> A staining substance which specifically stains DNA. Robert Feulgen, in 1914, used this stain to find out that DNA is the hereditary material in cells. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Fouchet's reagent | A 25% solution of trichloroacetic acid, containing 0.9% ferric chloride; a drop of the reagent added at the surface line of barium chloride-impregnated filter paper which has been dipped in urine for 10 sec will give a green colour if bilirubin is present. See: Fouchet's stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Froehde's reagent | Sodium molybdate 1, in strong sulfuric acid 1000; gives various colour reactions with alkaloids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Frohn's reagent | Bismuth subnitrate (1.5) and water (20.0) heated to boiling, to which hydrochloric acid (10.0) and potassium iodide (7.0) are added; used to test for alkaloids and for sugar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Lloyd's reagent | Precipitated aluminum silicate, used in the determination of alkaloids. (05 Mar 2000) |
