Ketotifen EP Impurity C (CAS 126939-27-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C19H21NO2S and a molecular weight of 327.44 g/mol.
Ketotifen EP Impurity C (C19H21NO2S) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), Ketotifen EP Impurity C 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.
