Chemical Structure

Benzalkonium Chloride EP Impurity C CAS 100-44-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Benzalkonium Chloride EP Impurity C.

CATO supplies Benzalkonium Chloride EP Impurity C (CAS 100-44-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C7H7Cl, MW 126.58 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C7H7Cl, Benzalkonium Chloride EP Impurity C contains chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 126.58 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

CATO manufactures Benzalkonium Chloride EP Impurity C 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.
