2,6-Dichloroindophenol, sodium salt hydrate

Description:
2,6-Dichloroindophenol, sodium salt hydrate, commonly referred to as DCPIP, is a synthetic organic compound characterized by its vibrant blue color, which is indicative of its redox properties. It is a derivative of indophenol and contains two chlorine atoms at the 2 and 6 positions of the indophenol structure. As a sodium salt, it is soluble in water, making it useful in various biochemical applications, particularly as a redox indicator in titrations and as a reagent in the study of electron transport in photosynthesis. DCPIP undergoes a color change from blue to colorless upon reduction, which allows for the quantification of reducing agents. Additionally, it has applications in microbiology for assessing the viability of cells, as viable cells can reduce DCPIP. The compound is typically handled with care due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact. Overall, DCPIP serves as a valuable tool in both laboratory and educational settings for demonstrating fundamental concepts in redox chemistry and biological processes.
