The study of what is going on in a chemical test is important, the more if the involved substance is glucose in urine. In the Crismer’s test the blood-red colour of safranin solution in alkaline medium is discharged if the glucose concentration is higher than 100 mg/dl. The reagent is not affected by uric acid or creatinine as is the case with the Fehling solution. The safranin test detects sugar in saliva when other reagents failed. Since the reaction mechanism of this test has not been advanced, we provide the electron flow, step by step.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
