Hydroxylamine is used as a reducing agent in photography, in synthetic and analytical chemistry, to purify aldehydes and ketones, as an antioxidant for fatty acids and soaps, and as a dehairing agent for hides. In addition, hydroxylamine is used in the production of cyclohexanone oxime or caprolactam.
Hydroxylamine hydrochloride is a strong reducing agent that is useful in biochemical crosslinking applications, including the deacetylation of SATA and chemical cleavage of EGS and Sulfo-EGS. Hydroxylamine converts carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) to their oxime derivatives in the presence of a weak base.

Fe+2 reacts exclusively with o-phenanthroline and absorbs in the visible spectrum (around 510 nm). This reaction occurs under acidic conditions. Ammonium acetate will be used to buffer the solution that the complex will form in and hydroxylamine HCl will be used to prevent oxidation.
