Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 225.28 g/mol gives Salbutamol Impurity 69 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Salbutamol Impurity 69 (CAS 18866-78-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C12H19NO3 and a molecular weight of 225.28 g/mol.
Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Salbutamol Impurity 69 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 225.28 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), Salbutamol Impurity 69 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.
