Ready-to-use reagent. Prepared with ACS reagent grade PAN [1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-naphthol] and Reagent Alcohol. Suitable for laboratory use.
Product Overview
PAN, or 1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-naphthol, is a highly sensitive and selective azo dye reagent used for the detection and quantification of metal ions in analytical chemistry. It forms stable, intensely colored complexes—typically red-orange to purple—with a wide range of metal ions, including aluminum, zinc, copper, nickel, and cobalt.
Due to its excellent complexing properties and vivid color response, PAN is frequently used in spectrophotometric assays for trace metal detection in environmental samples, industrial quality control, and research applications.
Key Features:
- Forms colored complexes with a variety of metal ions
- Strong visible absorbance for spectrophotometric analysis
- High sensitivity for trace-level detection
- Effective in slightly acidic to neutral pH conditions
- Available in powder form, soluble in organic solvents
Applications:
- Quantitative analysis of metals in water, soil, and food samples
- Environmental monitoring for heavy metal contamination
- Colorimetric determination of transition metals
- Complexation studies in coordination chemistry
- Teaching tool for analytical and environmental chemistry
PAN provides a reliable and precise method for detecting trace metals, offering clear visual and measurable spectrophotometric results in even low-concentration systems.
