Introduction and Precautions of Luminol Monosodium Salt 20666-12-0

Luminol monosodium salt, also known as 3-amino-phthalic anhydride monosodium salt in Chinese, has a CAS number of 20666-12-0 and a molecular formula of C8H8N3NaO2. It has good water solubility and is a commonly used chemiluminescence reagent. Due to differences in manufacturing processes among different manufacturers, the appearance of luminol monosodium salt commonly seen on the market is light green, pale yellow, or off white powder. Among them, off white luminol monosodium salt powder is more widely recognized and needs to be prepared into a solution when used.

Luminol monosodium salt is a derivative of Luminol luminescent ammonia, so there are many similarities in its use: firstly, Luminol and Luminol monosodium salt require catalysis to emit light, and both can be used to detect bloodstains. In contrast, luminol monosodium salt is more suitable for detecting bloodstains because luminol is an acidic substance that is insoluble in water and soluble in alkaline solutions, while luminol monosodium salt is soluble in water and has a pH value closer to that of human blood, both approaching 7.

The use of luminol monosodium salt is not only for detecting bloodstains and crime scenes, but also for detecting peroxidase. It is also a sensitive probe for metal ion mediated oxidation reactions and a commonly used reagent for chemiluminescence analysis of metal cations and glucocorticoids. It can also be used for imaging myeloperoxidase activity in vivo. In summary, the use of luminol monosodium salt is very flexible and extensive.

Luminol monosodium salt powder or solution should be stored away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. During experiments and use, direct contact with the skin should be avoided as much as possible. In order to ensure the safety and health of experimenters, it is recommended to wear lab coats and disposable gloves as much as possible. The technology of producing luminol monosodium salt by Hubei Xindesheng Material Technology Co., Ltd. is very mature, with stable production process and small inter batch differences, which can ensure that the appearance is a white powder.
