NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to providing high-quality chemical reagents that drive scientific innovation. Among these, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) stands out as a particularly versatile compound with critical applications in both antioxidant research and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.

The primary application of DPPH in research is its use as a standard reagent in the DPPH antioxidant assay. This assay is fundamental for evaluating the radical-scavenging ability of various compounds. DPPH, a stable free radical, exhibits a deep violet color. When it encounters a sample with antioxidant properties, it accepts an electron or a hydrogen atom, becoming reduced to DPPH-hydrazine, a yellow or colorless compound. This color change is easily monitored spectrophotometrically, allowing for quantitative analysis of antioxidant activity. This makes it an excellent tool for researchers in food chemistry, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals to assess the protective qualities of natural and synthetic compounds.

Beyond its role in antioxidant testing, DPPH is also highly valued as a standard in EPR spectroscopy. Its stable free radical nature and characteristic EPR signal make it ideal for calibrating EPR instruments. This calibration is essential for accurately determining the concentration of other paramagnetic species in a sample. Researchers rely on DPPH to ensure the accuracy and comparability of their EPR measurements, which are vital in fields such as materials science, chemistry, and biology for studying unpaired electrons and radical reactions. Its consistent performance as an EPR standard is crucial for reproducible results.

The effectiveness of DPPH in these dual roles highlights its importance in scientific laboratories. Its stability under normal conditions and the clear, quantifiable results it provides contribute to its status as a gold standard. For any laboratory involved in oxidative stress studies, antioxidant analysis, or EPR spectroscopy, having a reliable source of DPPH is paramount. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that researchers have access to high-purity DPPH, facilitating robust and accurate scientific investigations. Understanding the nuances of DPPH free radical scavenging enables more insightful research.
