Protein Precipitation Reagent for Urine Protein Analysis

Product Overview

Exton’s Reagent is a specialized protein-precipitating solution used primarily for the qualitative detection of protein in urine. Commonly employed in clinical laboratories and biochemical testing, Exton’s Reagent provides a sensitive and rapid method for identifying albumin and other proteins in biological fluids—especially useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of renal function and urinary tract disorders.

This reagent is composed of sodium sulfate and acetic acid, which work together to induce protein precipitation upon contact with samples containing protein. The resulting turbidity or flocculation is visually assessed, offering a semi-quantitative estimate of protein concentration.


Key Features:

  • Detects proteins in urine via precipitation reaction
  • Produces visible turbidity in the presence of albumin and other proteins
  • Used in renal function screening, urinalysis, and clinical diagnostics
  • Offers semi-quantitative assessment of protein concentration
  • Suitable for manual and instructional lab applications
  • Rapid and reliable results with simple dropwise procedure

Exton’s Reagent is a trusted tool in routine urinalysis and kidney function evaluation, offering a straightforward and effective method for detecting protein abnormalities in clinical specimens.
