Lithium acetate dihydrate (CAS 6108-17-4)
QUICK LINKS
Lithium acetate dihydrate is essential for its role as a buffer component in various biochemical preparations, including the modification of ninhydrin reagents. In these applications, it helps to maintain the pH at a stable level, ensuring optimal conditions for the ninhydrin reaction, which is critical for detecting amino acids and other primary amines. The presence of lithium ions in the acetate form provides the necessary ionic strength and contributes to the maintenance of the electrical neutrality in the solution. This buffering capability is crucial for the accurate and efficient performance of ninhydrin-based assays, commonly used in biochemical analyses to qualitatively or quantitatively determine the presence of free amino acids or other compounds with similar functional groups. Lithium acetate dihydrate′s role in these processes enhances the reaction conditions, leading to more reliable and reproducible results in the detection methods.
