General description

Dithizone (Diphenylthiocarbazone) is used as chelating agent for zinc.[1] It is widely used for the liquid-liquid and solid phase extraction of various metals since it forms stable complexes with the metals.[2]

Application

Dithizone (Diphenylthiocarbazone) may be used in the following studies:
  • In the cloud point preconcentration step, before the trace level quantification of silver by flame atomic absorption spectrometry.[2]
  • Preparation of hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). This reagent was useful for the colorimetric detection of heavy metal ions.[3]
  • As a zinc chelating ligand for the extraction of zinc in bovine serum.[4]
Dithizone has been used in the preparation of dithizone stain solution for pancreatic islet cells.[5]
Indicator for metals.[6]

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
