Cyanide Rapid Detection Kit (50)

Cyanide Rapid Detection Kit (50) is designed for the detection of cyanide in food.

Cyanide Rapid Detection Kit (50) is suitable for rapid detection of cyanide in foods such as grain and alcohol. It is also used for prevention of mixing of highly toxic cyanide as well as for rapid screening and qualitative identification of the poisons.

A cyanide is a chemical compound that contains the group C≡N. This group, known as the cyano group, consists of a carbon atom triple-bonded to a nitrogen atom. In inorganic cyanides, the cyanide group is present as the anion CN−. For the salts such as sodium cyanide and potassium cyanide, these compounds are highly toxic. Hydrocyanic acid, also known as hydrogen cyanide, or HCN, is a highly volatile liquid that is produced on a large scale industrially. It is obtained by acidification of cyanide salts. Organic cyanides are usually called nitriles. In nitriles, the CN group is linked by a covalent bond to carbon. For example, in acetonitrile, the cyanide group is bonded to methyl (CH3). Because they do not release cyanide ions, nitriles are generally far less toxic than cyanide salts. Some nitriles, which occur naturally as cyanohydrins, release hydrogen cyanide.

Rapid Detection

The detection limit of the kit is 0.5 ppm.
