1,10-Phenanthroline monohydrate, 99+%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

1,10-Phenanthroline monohydrate is useful to study the DNA-protein interactions due to its nuclease activity. It is used as a redox indicator and reagent for spectrophotometric assay of silver. It acts as a chelating ligand for the determination of Fe, Pd and V. It also acts as a matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor. It is a photometric reagent for iron, which forms a red chelate with ferrous (iron II) ion.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
