Chemical Structure

Levonorgestrel EP Impurity J CAS 1175109-63-3 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Levonorgestrel EP Impurity J is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 326.43 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO supplies Levonorgestrel EP Impurity J (CAS 1175109-63-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H26O3, MW 326.43 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

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), Levonorgestrel EP Impurity J 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.
