CATO supplies Ethyl 4-amino-1-methyl-2-(methylthio)-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate (CAS 62382-55-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H13N3O2S, MW 215.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Ethyl 4-amino-1-methyl-2-(methylthio)-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate (C8H13N3O2S) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
