Chemical Structure

7-guanidinoheptanoic acid CAS 73427-55-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 7-guanidinoheptanoic acid (CAS 73427-55-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H17N3O2, MW 187.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 7-guanidinoheptanoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 187.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures 7-guanidinoheptanoic 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.
