Colorimetric determination of amino acids and amines1,2-Naphthoquinone-4-sulfonic acid sodium salt is used for the colorimetric determination of amino acids, amines and procaine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical preparations. It is also used in the characterization of phanerochaete chrysosporium. Further, it acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of carbohydrate based napthoquinones, which acts as anticancer agents.
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.
