Chemical Structure

Pterine-6-carboxylic Acid CAS 948-60-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 207.15 g/mol gives Pterine-6-carboxylic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Pterine-6-carboxylic Acid (CAS 948-60-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H5N5O3, MW 207.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C7H5N5O3, Pterine-6-carboxylic Acid contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 207.15 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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 analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures Pterine-6-carboxylic 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.
