Jlab Export is a leading Schiffs Reagent Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Schiffs Reagent (code EL-CL-12340) is Schiff’s reagent, made from fuchsin dye decolourised by sulphur dioxide and used to tell aldehydes from ketones. An aldehyde restores a magenta colour to the colourless reagent, while ketones leave it unchanged. JLab prepares the reagent in Ambala, India, as part of its own chemical range.

Reading the Aldehyde Test
A few drops of the compound shaken with the reagent in the cold give a pink to magenta colour if an aldehyde such as methanal or ethanal is present. Propanone and other ketones give no colour, so the reagent separates the two carbonyl classes alongside the Tollens silver mirror test. The tube is not warmed, because heat drives off sulphur dioxide and can bring back the colour with no aldehyde present.
Related Carbonyl Test Reagents
- Tollens Reagent — silver mirror test, another way to detect aldehydes.
- Formaldehyde — an aldehyde that restores the magenta colour.
- Acetone — a ketone that leaves the reagent colourless.
Carbonyl and other organic test reagents belong to Chemistry Lab.
