Used in TLC to stain alpha-keto acidsThiosemicarbazide is used as a reagent for ketones as well as chemical intermediate. It is involved in the detection of metals. It is also used in photography. Further, it is effective for controlling bacterial leaf blight in rice. In addition to this, it is used to prepare 1,3,4-thiadiazoles.
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. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
