Annex. Reagents and <strong>the</strong>ir preparation 367<br />

Diacetyl monoxime stock solution<br />

Diacetyl monoxime (also called 2,3-butanedione<br />

monoxime)<br />

2 g<br />

Distilled water<br />

q.s. 500ml<br />

Label <strong>the</strong> volumetric flask “DIACETYL MONOXIME STOCK SOLUTION”<br />

and write <strong>the</strong> date. The solution will keep for at least 6 months at 2–8 °C.<br />

Colour reagent<br />

Acid reagent (No. 6)<br />

50ml<br />

Diacetyl monoxime reagent<br />

50ml<br />

Mix <strong>the</strong> acid reagent and stock solution in a 100-ml stoppered flask. Label <strong>the</strong> flask<br />

“COLOUR REAGENT”. The quantities shown above are sufficient for 33 measurements.<br />

The reagent must be prepared daily.<br />

Urea stock reference solution, 125mmol/l<br />

Urea<br />

750mg<br />

Benzoic acid, 1g/l (0.1%) solution (see No. 30) q.s. 100ml<br />

Dissolve <strong>the</strong> urea in about 20ml of <strong>the</strong> benzoic acid solution in a 100-ml volumetric<br />

flask. Make up <strong>the</strong> volume to 100ml with benzoic acid solution. Label <strong>the</strong> flask<br />

“UREA STOCK REFERENCE SOLUTION 125 MMOL/L” and write <strong>the</strong> date.<br />

Store in a refrigerator. The solution will keep for several months at 2–8 °C.<br />

Urea working reference solution, 10mmol/l<br />

Urea stock reference solution<br />

8 ml<br />

Benzoic acid (C 7<br />

H 6<br />

O 2<br />

), 1g/l (0.1%) solution<br />

(see No. 30)<br />

q.s. 100ml<br />

Mix <strong>the</strong> solutions well in a 100-ml volumetric flask. Label <strong>the</strong> volumetric flask<br />

“UREA WORKING REFERENCE SOLUTION 10 MMOL/L” and write <strong>the</strong> date.<br />

Wayson stain (No. 63)<br />

Solution A 1<br />

:<br />

Basic fuchsin<br />

2 g<br />

Absolute methanol (CH 3<br />

OH)<br />

100ml<br />

Solution A 2<br />

:<br />

Methylene blue<br />

7 g<br />

Absolute methanol (CH 3<br />

OH)<br />

100ml<br />

Combine <strong>the</strong> two solutions to give solution A.<br />

Solution B (phenol, 50g/l (5%) solution):<br />

Phenol (C 6<br />

H 5<br />

OH)<br />

100g<br />

Distilled water<br />

2000ml<br />

Add solution A to solution B. The staining properties of Wayson stain improve with<br />

age. Make <strong>the</strong> stain in large quantities and dispense it in small amounts in to dark<br />

bottles for future use. Label <strong>the</strong> bottles “WAYSON STAIN” and write <strong>the</strong> date.<br />
