3-amino-6-methyl-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 4896-36-0), molecular formula C6H13N3O2 and molecular weight 159.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
3-amino-6-methyl-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (C6H13N3O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
