Ready-to-use reagent. Prepared with Certified Dimethylglyoxime and Reagent Alcohol. Suitable for laboratory use.

Product Overview

Dimethylglyoxime (DMG) is a highly selective organic reagent used for the gravimetric and colorimetric detection of nickel (Ni²⁺) and palladium (Pd²⁺) ions. When added to an aqueous solution containing nickel under slightly alkaline conditions, DMG forms a bright red, insoluble chelate complex, allowing for precise qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Its strong selectivity and sensitivity make it a staple in analytical chemistry, metallurgy, and environmental testing, where accurate determination of trace metal ions is required. Dimethylglyoxime is commonly used in laboratory assays, quality control processes, and educational demonstrations involving coordination chemistry.

Key Features:

  • Forms a red precipitate with Ni²⁺ and Pd²⁺ under alkaline conditions
  • Highly selective and sensitive for nickel detection
  • Available in fine powder form, soluble in ethanol
  • Stable under dry storage conditions
  • Suitable for both qualitative spot tests and quantitative gravimetric analysis

Applications:

  • Gravimetric determination of nickel in alloys and industrial samples
  • Colorimetric analysis in chemical and environmental labs
  • Detection of trace nickel in water, food, and biological samples
  • Demonstrations of complex ion formation in teaching environments

Dimethylglyoxime remains a gold-standard reagent for the reliable and accurate detection of nickel and palladium, offering clear visual identification and reproducibility in a range of analytical workflows.
