o-Toluidine is used in the production of dyes, as a presumptive test for blood in forensic science. And it is also used in determination of glucose in biological materials, as a precursor in the synthesis of poly(o-toluidine) and copper nanoparticle composite material.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
