Application
DAN, a colorless to white crystalline powder, serves as a versatile reagent with several important applications. It is used in the preparation of precursors for multi-layer 3D materials involving chiral organic sandwich compounds. Furthermore, DAN is highly effective as a colorimetric and fluorometric reagent for detecting selenium and can also be employed in the fluorometric determination of nitrite. In particular, DAN reacts with nitrosonium, which is formed from nitrite at low pH, to produce the fluorescent dye 1 H-naphthotriazole, allowing for the detection of nitrite concentrations ranging from 10 nM to 10 μM. This reaction is notably compatible with a 96-well format, facilitating its use in various analytical applications. Additionally, DAN is also useful for the detection of ketones and alpha-keto acids. This makes DAN a critical tool in rigorous scientific and analytical procedures.
