Chemical Structure

(2-Ureido-acetylamino)-acetic acid CAS 17303-54-7 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies (2-Ureido-acetylamino)-acetic acid (CAS 17303-54-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H9N3O4, MW 175.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, (2-Ureido-acetylamino)-acetic acid is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 175.14 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).

CATO manufactures (2-Ureido-acetylamino)-acetic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
