Chemical Structure

Clonidine Hydrochloride CAS 4205-91-8 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Clonidine Hydrochloride (CAS 4205-91-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H9Cl2N3HCl, MW 266.55 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Clonidine Hydrochloride (C9H9Cl2N3HCl) 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Clonidine Hydrochloride 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.
