CATO supplies Iodixanol impurity 20 (CAS 111453-49-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H13I3N2O6, MW 673.97 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Based on its molecular formula C13H13I3N2O6, Iodixanol impurity 20 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 673.97 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Iodixanol impurity 20 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.
