Bathocuproinedisulfonaat dinatrium

52698-84-7

Bathocuproine disulfonate disodium (BCS) is an organic compound utilized as a highly sensitive colorimetric reagent for copper ions in biochemical and analytical applications. Its bright yellow color and specific light absorption make it effective for detecting and quantifying trace amounts of copper. In biochemistry, BCS is commonly employed to study the role of copper ions in various biological processes. Copper, being an essential nutrient for many organisms, can be toxic at high concentrations, thus precise measurement is crucial to understanding its impact on living systems. Analytically, BCS is often used for environmental monitoring and assessing copper pollution in water quality testing. It can detect copper even at very low concentrations, making it a valuable tool for identifying potential contamination sources and evaluating the impact of industrial activities on aquatic ecosystems.
