TCI C1254 Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride (CAS 3697-42-5) is a cationic bisbiguanide antimicrobial supplied as a research reagent under the antibiotics category. Its positively charged biguanide groups interact strongly with negatively charged microbial membranes, making it a standard reference antiseptic in susceptibility and biofilm studies. Laboratories also use it as a model active ingredient in antiseptic formulation, dental materials, and antimicrobial surface coating research. AMI Scientific offers 5 g and 25 g pack sizes for experimental use only, and dust inhalation should be avoided during weighing.
