Description
ACETONE DETECTION POWDER, also known as Rothera’s Mixture, is a reagent used for the qualitative detection of acetone in urine samples. It is typically composed of ammonium sulfate, sodium nitroprusside, and sodium hydroxide. When mixed with a urine sample containing acetone, the reagent produces a characteristic red or purple coloration, indicating the presence of acetone. ACETONE DETECTION POWDER is commonly used in clinical settings to diagnose and monitor conditions such as diabetic ketoacidosis and other metabolic disorders where elevated acetone levels may be present in urine.
