3-Amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole CAS 16691-43-3

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole.

3-Amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (CAS 16691-43-3), molecular formula C2H4N4S and molecular weight 116.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, 3-Amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 116.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole 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.
