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.
CATO supplies Hydralazine Impurity 1 (CAS 234-80-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C9H6N4, MW 170.17 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Hydralazine Impurity 1 (C9H6N4) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. Its physicochemical properties are representative of its class; 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).
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
