Biotin EP Impurity A CAS 1163708-46-0 chemical structure

Description

Biotin EP Impurity A (CAS 1163708-46-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H28N4O4S2 and a molecular weight of 428.57 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C18H28N4O4S2, Biotin EP Impurity A contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 428.57 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).

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.

CATO manufactures Biotin EP Impurity A 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.
