Ellman's Reagents

 

Product Name: 2-PDS

Product Code: P016-10   Unit: 1 g

 

Description:

Chemical Name: 2,2-Dithiodipyridine

Appearance: white or pale yellow powder
m.p.: 56-60 ºC
Molar absorptivity: >14,000 (235 nm)
Sulfated ash: <0.1 %
Solubility: 100 mg/ml methanol


Oxidation Reaction


2-PDS and 4-PDS are used for the photometric determination of thiol groups in biological samples. These compounds react with the thiol groups at pH 5 to form mercaptopyridine. The maximum wavelengths of 2-Mercaptopyridine and 4-Mercaptopyridine are 343 nm and 324 nm, respectively.


 

Product Name: 4-PDS

Product Code: P017-10   Unit: 1 g

 

Description:

Chemical Name: 4,4'-Dithiodipyridine

Appearance: white or pale yellow crystalline powder
m.p.: 73-78 ºC
Molar absorptivity: >15,000 (246 nm)
Sulfated ash: <0.1 %/ Solubility: 100 mg/ml methanol


Oxidation Reaction


2-PDS and 4-PDS are used for the photometric determination of thiol groups in biological samples. These compounds react with the thiol groups at pH 5 to form mercaptopyridine. The maximum wavelengths of 2-Mercaptopyridine and 4-Mercaptopyridine are 343 nm and 324 nm, respectively.


Product Name: DTNB

Product Code: D029-10   Unit: 1 g

 

Description:

Chemical Name: 5,5’-Dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid)

Appearance: pale yellow crystalline powder
m.p.: 237-247 ºC (dec.)
Molar absorptivity: >12,000(305 nm)
Absorbance: <0.195 (420 nm)
Sulfated ash: <0.1 %
Loss on drying: <1%
Solubility: 10 mg/ml ethanol, 2 mg/ml 50 mM phosphate buffer pH 7.2


Oxidation Reaction


DTNB is known as Ellman? reagent. It is used for the colorimetric determination of thiol groups in biological samples. It is fairly soluble in water. Colorless DTNB is converted to yellow 5-Mercapto-2-nitrobenzoic acid in the presence of thiol compounds. As 5-Mercapto-2-nitrobenzoic acid has an absorption maximum at 412 nm, the absorption spectrum of DTNB does not interfere with thiol detection.
