Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 298.42 g/mol gives Norethisterone EP Impurity C distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Norethisterone EP Impurity C (CAS 22933-71-7) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H26O2 and a molecular weight of 298.42 g/mol.
Structurally, Norethisterone EP Impurity C (C20H26O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 298.42 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
CATO manufactures Norethisterone EP Impurity C under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
