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 supplies Betamethasone Impurity 87 (CAS 1549-35-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula N/A, MW 421.48 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Betamethasone Impurity 87 is supplied as a fully characterized reference material; its structural identity, assigned purity, and stability data are documented in the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA).
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.
