Questions

  1. if Putrescine dihydrochloride (P7505, ≥98% TLC) is suitable for HPLC analysis? If not, please recommend an alternative HPLC-grade putrescine product

    1 answer
    1. This product is not tested for suitability in HPLC. Unfortunately, no other Dihydrochloride form is tested for HPLC applications. However, the base form, available as a standard under product number 51799, has been tested for suitability in HPLC and GC. In addition, the purity of product D13208, 1,4-Diaminobutane (Putrescine), is determined by GC. Please see the links below to review these product options.
