Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Citalopram EP Impurity F HCl.
As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Citalopram EP Impurity F HCl (CAS 1644389-68-3, C19H21BrFNOHCl) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Citalopram EP Impurity F HCl (C19H21BrFNOHCl) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine/bromine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Citalopram EP Impurity F HCl 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.
