Chemical Structure

L-Formiminoglutamic Acid CAS 816-90-0 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), L-Formiminoglutamic Acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

L-Formiminoglutamic Acid (CAS 816-90-0), molecular formula C6H10N2O4 and molecular weight 174.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

L-Formiminoglutamic Acid (C6H10N2O4) 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.
