Dimethyl Glyoxime Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Dimethyl Glyoxime (Product Code: SCL-828/158) is an organic complexing reagent, often shortened to DMG, used to confirm and estimate nickel in qualitative and gravimetric analysis in chemistry laboratories. It forms a striking red precipitate with nickel ions and is packed as 100 gm of analytical reagent with an MSDS for school, college and university practicals. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a chemistry consumables supplier in India.

What Is Dimethyl Glyoxime Used For?

In the scheme of cation analysis, nickel is confirmed by making the test solution alkaline with ammonium hydroxide and adding a few drops of DMG dissolved in alcohol. A bright rose-red to cherry-red precipitate appears if nickel is present, a result so distinctive that students rarely mistake it. A teacher preparing a school salt analysis kit therefore keeps a small bottle of the prepared solution in the Group IV reagent set, making it up from the solid as required.

At college level, the same reaction is used quantitatively: the red nickel complex is precipitated from a warm, buffered solution, filtered, washed, dried and weighed to find the nickel content of an alloy or salt. For both uses, weigh the solid carefully, dissolve it fully in alcohol before adding it to the sample, and store the dry reagent in a closed container on a cool, dry shelf.

Related Chemistry Lab Products

Materials that complete the nickel test and its gravimetric version:

• Nickel Chloride — a known nickel salt for demonstrating the positive result.
• Nickel Sulfate — an alternative nickel sample for practice analyses.
• Ammonium Hydroxide (ammonia water) — makes the solution alkaline before DMG is added.
• Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) — the usual solvent for preparing the DMG test solution.
• Filter Paper — collects the red precipitate in gravimetric work.

Other qualitative analysis reagents are in the Chemistry Lab category.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Dimethyl Glyoxime supplied as a solid or a ready-made solution?
Dimethyl Glyoxime (SCL-828/158) is listed by weight, 100 gm per pack, so laboratories dissolve it in alcohol themselves to prepare the test solution. If you are looking for a ready-made DMG solution instead, contact us before ordering.

Which metal does Dimethyl Glyoxime detect?
Dimethyl Glyoxime is the classic confirmatory reagent for nickel. In ammoniacal solution it gives a bright rose-red to cherry-red precipitate with nickel ions, a result distinctive enough that students rarely mistake it in the Group IV cation tests.

Why must the solution be ammoniacal for the Dimethyl Glyoxime test?
The red nickel complex of Dimethyl Glyoxime forms properly only in a slightly alkaline medium. In acid solution the precipitate does not appear, so ammonium hydroxide is added to the test solution first, followed by a few drops of the DMG reagent.

What is the shelf life of Dimethyl Glyoxime?
The shelf life of Dimethyl Glyoxime depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so this page does not quote a fixed period. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and store the solid closed on a cool, dry shelf.

Is an MSDS supplied with Dimethyl Glyoxime?
Yes, Dimethyl Glyoxime is supplied with an MSDS. The sheet covers safe handling of the solid and of the alcoholic solution prepared from it, together with storage and first-aid information that laboratory staff should read before the practical.

Who supplies Dimethyl Glyoxime (SCL-828/158)?
Dimethyl Glyoxime (SCL-828/158) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company provides qualitative analysis reagents to schools, colleges, universities and dealers in India and international markets.
