Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 5-Methyl-2-(methylthio)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-ol.
CATO supplies 5-Methyl-2-(methylthio)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-ol (CAS 40775-78-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H8N4OS, MW 196.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 5-Methyl-2-(methylthio)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-ol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 196.23 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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
