Chemical Structure
Description
2-(2-Amino-1H-imidazol-4-yl)acetic acid (CAS 73086-08-5), molecular formula C5H7N3O2 and molecular weight 141.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
2-(2-Amino-1H-imidazol-4-yl)acetic acid (C5H7N3O2) 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.
CATO manufactures 2-(2-Amino-1H-imidazol-4-yl)acetic acid 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.
