Chemical Structure

Levofloxacin Impurity 64 CAS 1607796-83-7 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Levofloxacin Impurity 64 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.

CATO supplies Levofloxacin Impurity 64 (CAS 1607796-83-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H14FNO5, MW 307.27 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Levofloxacin Impurity 64 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 307.27 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
