Product Information

• Name: 4-Amino-3,5-dichlorophenol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Amino-3,5-dichlorophenol is a decoupling agent that has been shown to have acute toxicities in cultures. It is also used as a regulatory control for the analysis of hydroxyl groups and for broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents. 4-Amino-3,5-dichlorophenol reacts with hydrochloric acid to form chlorohydrin, which can be detected by an electrochemical detector. This reaction mechanism has been proposed as the basis for the use of this chemical as a decoupling agent in analytical chemistry. Its use as an antimicrobial agent is based on its ability to inhibit bacterial growth by reacting with thiol groups in enzymes or proteins and blocking their activity.
