Thiobarbituric Acid

Product Description

Thiobarbituric Acid (Code: 06224) is a high-purity, white to pale pink crystalline compound widely used in biochemical and analytical research. It is a derivative of barbituric acid where one oxygen atom is replaced by sulfur, enhancing its reactivity with aldehydes and peroxides.

Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) is best known for its role in the Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS) assay, a standard method for detecting lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress in biological samples. It forms a red-colored complex with malondialdehyde (MDA), which is measured spectrophotometrically for antioxidant and lipid oxidation studies
