2,6 Dichlorophenolindophenol
Product Code : JL-LE-11201
2,6 Dichlorophenolindophenol (SKU JL-LE-11201, Model No. JL654/0144), usually shortened to DCPIP, is a blue redox dye supplied by JaincoLab as an analytical reagent with an MSDS. It turns colourless when reduced, so biology students use it to measure vitamin C in fruit juices and to show that isolated chloroplasts release electrons in light in the Hill reaction.

Frequently asked questions
How does DCPIP measure vitamin C?
Vitamin C reduces blue DCPIP to colourless; the volume of juice needed to decolourise a set amount of dye indicates its vitamin C content.
What is the Hill reaction?
Chloroplasts in light reduce DCPIP, turning it colourless, which shows the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis.
