CATO supplies 4-Amino-5-aminomethyl-2-methylpyrimidine dihydrochloride (CAS 874-43-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H10N4HCl, MW 174.63 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 4-Amino-5-aminomethyl-2-methylpyrimidine dihydrochloride (C6H10N4HCl) is characterized by a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Amino-5-aminomethyl-2-methylpyrimidine dihydrochloride 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.
