Chemical Structure

7,8-Dihydro-L-biopterin CAS 6779-87-9 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

7,8-Dihydro-L-biopterin (CAS 6779-87-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H13N5O3 and a molecular weight of 239.23 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 7,8-Dihydro-L-biopterin (C9H13N5O3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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).

CATO manufactures 7,8-Dihydro-L-biopterin under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
