Can someone guide me about preparation of nessler's reagent for ammonia production test from pgprs. I have performed protocol according to Cappuccino and Sherman manual but it is giving blackish color even in control tube. Why is it so?
Dear Sana, Nessler's reagent contains Hg and should be avoided in favour of a less permanently toxic and satisfactory alternative such as salicylate or phenol with hypochlorite
