Chemical Structure

Arginine Impurity 2 CAS 89531-99-7 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Arginine Impurity 2 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.

CATO supplies Arginine Impurity 2 (CAS 89531-99-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C6H11N3O2, MW 157.17 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Arginine Impurity 2 (C6H11N3O2) 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. 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).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.
