CATO supplies 1-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)biguanide, HCl (CAS 21703-08-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H9Cl2N5HCl, MW 282.55 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, 1-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)biguanide, HCl (C8H9Cl2N5HCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 282.55 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
