CATO supplies 6-Oxo-6,7-dihydro-3H-purine-8-carboxylic acid (CAS 98141-78-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H4N4O3, MW 180.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
6-Oxo-6,7-dihydro-3H-purine-8-carboxylic acid (C6H4N4O3) 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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), 6-Oxo-6,7-dihydro-3H-purine-8-carboxylic 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.
