Description

Application
Agriculture- Used in low-biuret or controlled-release fertilizer formulations and foliar nutrient studies. Analytical Chemistry- Employed in the Biuret test for detecting and measuring proteins. Research Laboratories- Used as a reagent standard or intermediate in chemical studies. Chemical Industry- Utilized in the synthesis and evaluation of nitrogen-containing compounds.

Purpose
To serve as a source of nitrogen in certain agricultural products and as a reagent or reference material in analytical and research applications.

General Description
Biuret is a nitrogen-containing organic compound formed as a by-product during the thermal decomposition of urea. Commercial biuret may contain small amounts of triuret and appears as a white powder. It is commonly used as a chemical reagent and in specialized fertilizer applications.
