As a certified reference material (CRM), Fospropofol Impurity 2 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 Fospropofol Impurity 2 (CAS 18351-26-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C24H34O4PNa, MW 440.50 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Based on its molecular formula C24H34O4PNa, Fospropofol Impurity 2 contains a flavonoid core, a phosphate ester group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 440.50 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
