Bromosulfophthalein Test

The bromosulfopthalein test is a method used to determine the presence of traces of sulfur in organic matter. In fact, this method was developed in 1917 to study the nature of poisons and toxins, but it is also widely used today to analyze various samples of food, feed, soil and other materials. This is a very valuable method that allows not only to identify the presence or absence of organic substances in the sample under study, but also to establish a number of their properties, which in turn helps to determine the origin and characteristics of the object under study. However, it is worth noting that it is necessary to strictly follow all the rules and procedures for performing samples, since exceeding the dose of the reagent can lead to serious consequences, even affecting the health of the researcher.

The bromosulfofatalein test allows you to determine the presence of certain sulfur compounds, such as thiodisulfuric acid, sulfides and their derivatives. Typically, this sample uses a bromoisobutylcarbinol solution to oxidize low molecular weight polysulfide groups into
