This 0.05 M NaOH/C47™ reagent is applied in
the first stage of post-column carbamate
derivatization. At 100 ºC the separated
carbamates are converted from urethanes to
Methylamine. The Methylamine can then react
with OPA and Thiofluor™ to form the
characteristically fluorescent isoindole.
Hydrolysis Reagent contains C47 which prevents
the precipitation of insoluble minerals (e.g.
Ca2+, Mg2+) from samples
of hard drinking water and ground water. The
C47 additive complexes these minerals and
keeps them in solution.
