Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 160.13 g/mol gives (2S)-4-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies (2S)-4-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 63291-04-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H8N2O4, MW 160.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of (2S)-4-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (C5H8N2O4) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
