Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(4-Amidinophenyl)indole-6-carboxamidine Dihydrochloride 2-(4-Carbamimidoylphenyl)indole-6-carboximidamide Dihydrochloride 28718-90-3 4',6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole Dihydrochloride A2412 DAPI.2HCl meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

2-(4-Amidinophenyl)indole-6-carboxamidine Dihydrochloride 2-(4-Carbamimidoylphenyl)indole-6-carboximidamide Dihydrochloride 28718-90-3 4',6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole Dihydrochloride A2412 DAPI.2HCl (CAS 28718-90-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H29N5HCl and a molecular weight of 327.90 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-(4-Amidinophenyl)indole-6-carboxamidine Dihydrochloride 2-(4-Carbamimidoylphenyl)indole-6-carboximidamide Dihydrochloride 28718-90-3 4',6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole Dihydrochloride A2412 DAPI.2HCl (C16H29N5HCl) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
