| Folin's reagent | The reaction of amino acids in alkaline solution with 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate (Folin's reagent) to yield a red colour; useful for quantitative assay. Synonym: Folin's reagent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
