Chemical Structure

Sodium L-Pyroglutamate CAS 28874-51-3 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 Sodium L-Pyroglutamate (CAS 28874-51-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H6NO3Na, MW 151.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Sodium L-Pyroglutamate (C5H6NO3Na) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.5, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 151.10 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Sodium L-Pyroglutamate 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.
