Description

Bis(2,4-Dinitrophenyl) Oxalate is a high-purity organic compound primarily used as a key reagent in chemiluminescence systems. Its value lies in its ability to generate high-intensity light emission upon reaction with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a fluorescent dye, making it critical for sensitive analytical detection. This product is essential for manufacturers and researchers in the fields of forensic science, clinical diagnostics, and analytical chemistry who require reliable and efficient chemiluminescent substrates.

Application

• Chemiluminescence Reagent: A core component in "glow stick" formulations and emergency lighting systems.
• Forensic Analysis: Used in bloodstain detection kits (e.g., Luminol alternatives) for crime scene investigation.
• Biosensor & Diagnostic Kits: Acts as a substrate in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and other immunoassays for high-sensitivity detection.
• Analytical Chemistry: Employed as a chemiluminescent probe in HPLC and flow injection analysis for trace metal and peroxide detection.
• Research & Development: Serves as a model compound in photochemistry and reaction mechanism studies.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: An intermediate for synthesizing more complex oxalate esters and functional materials.
