Product Description:

2,6-Dichlorophenolindophenol sodium salt (DCPIP) is a blue-colored quinone imine dye with the chemical formula C12H6Cl2NNaO2. It is commonly used as an oxidation-reduction (redox) indicator. In its oxidized state, it exhibits a deep blue color, while upon reduction, it becomes colorless. Its primary application is as a visual indicator in analytical chemistry, most notably in the titration of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The decolorization of the blue DCPIP solution provides a clear endpoint for the titration. Furthermore, it serves as an electron acceptor in biochemical assays, particularly for measuring the activity of dehydrogenases, such as in the assessment of mitochondrial function or photosynthetic electron transport in plant biology research. DCPIP is also utilized in some clinical and food testing kits for the quantitative determination of ascorbic acid content. It is generally considered to have low toxicity but should be handled with standard laboratory precautions.
