The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
CATO supplies Amiodarone Impurity 35 (CAS 149702-94-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H18I2O3, MW 560.16 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Amiodarone Impurity 35 (C20H18I2O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 11.0, corresponding to approximately 11 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 560.16 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
