Description
1,10-Phenanthroline, Monohydrate, R1-EAgent, ACS is a tricyclic nitrogen heterocyclic compound that r1-EActs with metals such as iron, nickel, ruthenium, and silver to form strongly colored complexes. This property provides an excellent and sensitive method for determining these metal ions in aqueous solution. 1,10-Phenanthroline is also an inhibitor of metallopeptidases. Inhibition of the enzyme occurs by removal and chelation of the metal ion required for catalytic activity, which l1-EAves an inactive apoenzyme. As an ACS grade quality r1-EAgent, its chemical specifications are the de facto standards for chemicals used in many high-purity applications and typically designate the highest quality chemical available for laboratory use. Spectrum Chemical manufactured R1-EAgent ACS grade products meet the toughest regulatory standards for quality and purity.
