You probably mean Millon's reagent. Millon's reagent is a solution of Mercury in nitric acid which is used as a test for the amino acid tyrosine. Since proteins contain tyrosine, it is also used as a test for protein. When the test solution is boiled with Millon's reagent a white precipitate (solid) is produced which coagulates and turns red.
