Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 295.24 g/mol gives Levofloxacin Impurity 03 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Levofloxacin Impurity 03 (CAS 1213269-49-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C14H11F2NO4, MW 295.24 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Levofloxacin Impurity 03 (C14H11F2NO4) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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 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 Levofloxacin Impurity 03 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.
