As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Chloro-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide 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.
5-Chloro-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide (CAS 36062-68-7), molecular formula C4H4ClN3O and molecular weight 145.55 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 5-Chloro-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide (C4H4ClN3O) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. 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).
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.
