Ehrlich's reagent or Ehrlich reagent is a reagent containing p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (DMAB) and thus can act as an indicator to presumptively identify indoles and urobilinogen.
Ehrlich reagent can be used to detect urobilinogen, which can indicate jaundice or other liver-related issues.
Ehrlich's aldehyde reagent is used to detect urobilinogen in urine. To 10 ml of urine, add 1.0 ml Ehrlich's benzaldehyde reagent, mix and let it stand for about 10 minutes. Observe colour by looking down into the tube held over a white surface
Ehrlichs aldehyde reagent is used to detect urobilinogen in urine. Urobilinogen is one of the bile pigments found in urine in case of liver defects, (epidemic icterus, cirrhosis) or as a result of excessive formation of bilirubin (haemolytic jaundice).
