    0.01 sec.
Thiochrome 

(C12H14ON4S), a product of the oxidation of thiamine in an alkaline medium. Thiochrome crystals are yellow. Aqueous solutions in ultraviolet light (λmax = 460–470 nm) are intensely fluorescent. A highly sensitive method of quantitative determination of thiamine and thiamine pyrophosphate (cocarboxylase) used in medical and biological research is based on the determination of the specific fluorescence of thiochrome.

Because of the low biological concentrations of these analytes, most methods employ precolumn or postcolumn oxidation of thiamines followed by fluorescent detection of thiochrome compounds.
In October 1938, six months after I had joined Kraft, he asked me to use the recently published Jansen thiochrome method to determine the vitamin B 1 (thiamin) in Vegemite.
The chromatographic profile of a blank injection prepared by omitting the thiochrome reaction suggested a lack of interference in sample extracts (Fig.
