Description

Dabsyl Hydrazine is a specialized derivatization reagent primarily used for the sensitive detection and analysis of carbonyl compounds. Its core value lies in its ability to form stable, chromophoric hydrazone derivatives, enabling precise quantification in complex matrices. This compound is essential for analytical chemists and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, food, and environmental sectors who require high-purity reagents for method development and routine analysis.

Application

• Derivatization Agent for HPLC/LC-MS: Used to tag aldehydes and ketones for enhanced ultraviolet (UV) or fluorescence detection in liquid chromatography.
• Food Safety Analysis: Employed in the determination of process contaminants like furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in food and beverage products.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Critical for the analysis of carbonyl-containing degradation products and impurities in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug formulations.
• Environmental Monitoring: Applied in the detection of low-molecular-weight aldehydes (e.g., formaldehyde, acetaldehyde) in air and water samples.
• Biomarker Research: Facilitates the study of lipid peroxidation end-products (e.g., malondialdehyde) and other carbonyl stress markers in biological fluids.
• Flavor and Fragrance Analysis: Aids in the identification and quantification of key carbonyl flavor compounds.

Quality Control

Our Dabsyl Hydrazine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and identity confirmation by IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for analytical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific results are provided to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical methods.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept in a desiccated environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect reactivity and stability.
