TCI A0131 Acridine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of acridine, an aromatic heterocyclic compound built from three fused rings and containing a nitrogen atom. Acridine itself is widely known in dye chemistry, analytical chemistry, and molecular biology. In the TCI catalogue this material is grouped under Heterocyclic Building Blocks, so its main role in the laboratory is as a starting material for constructing acridine derivatives, or as a reference compound in studies of optical properties and molecular interactions.
The hydrochloride form is commonly chosen because the weakly basic heterocyclic nitrogen can be protonated, which means its solubility and handling behaviour differ from those of the free base. The flat, aromatic acridine framework can interact with other molecules through pi stacking, and its derivatives are known to be fluorescent. These characteristics make acridine and its derivatives attractive for developing probes, dyes, and compounds that interact with nucleic acids, which is why the material is relevant to both chemistry and biology researchers.
In Indonesia, the 5 g pack suits organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and biochemistry research laboratories that need a measured quantity for small-scale experiments, method development, and exploratory synthesis. A pack of this size lets a laboratory work with the reagent without committing to a large inventory. It is a practical option for university research groups and industrial R&D teams that work with heterocyclic chemistry and need a consistently sourced TCI reagent.
