nitroprussiditestillä
The nitroprusside test, also known as the nitroprusside reaction or cyanide test, is a simple chemical assay used primarily to detect the presence of sulfide ions (S²⁻) in a sample. The test is widely employed in clinical, environmental, and industrial settings due to its sensitivity and ease of use.
The reaction involves the addition of sodium nitroprusside (Na₂[Fe(CN)₅NO]) to a sample suspected of containing sulfides.
In clinical chemistry, the nitroprusside test is often used to detect ketones in urine, particularly acetone,
The test is straightforward to perform, requiring only a few drops of the reagent solution to be
While the nitroprusside test is valuable for its simplicity and speed, it is generally not as precise
