Chemical Structure

Nα-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)-L-arginine CAS 1602-42-2 chemical structure

Description

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO supplies Nα-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)-L-arginine (CAS 1602-42-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H16N6O6, MW 340.29 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Nα-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)-L-arginine (C12H16N6O6) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Nα-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)-L-arginine meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
