Chemical Structure

2',7'-Dichlorofluorescein CAS 76-54-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2',7'-Dichlorofluorescein is closely related to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2',7'-Dichlorofluorescein (CAS 76-54-0), molecular formula C20H10Cl2O5 and molecular weight 401.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2',7'-Dichlorofluorescein (C20H10Cl2O5) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 manufactures 2',7'-Dichlorofluorescein under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
