The Determination of the Reduction Potential of Tetrazolium Compounds

Abstract

The compound 2.3.5-triphenyl-tetrazolium chloride, is important as a stain indicator in the determination of the viability of cereal and corn seeds. The colorless tetrazolium salt is hydrogenated into dark red, poorly water- soluble, air-stable triphenyl formazan by viable germinal tissue. Thus, the reduction of tetrazolium compounds potentiometrically was investigated.
