Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 284.39 g/mol gives Testosterone Impurity 13 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Testosterone Impurity 13 (CAS 17305-49-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C19H24O2, MW 284.39 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Testosterone Impurity 13 (C19H24O2) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Testosterone Impurity 13 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.
