Estradiol Impurity 20 CAS 2398-63-2 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Estradiol Impurity 20 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.

Estradiol Impurity 20 (CAS 2398-63-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H28O3 and a molecular weight of 328.45 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C21H28O3, Estradiol Impurity 20 contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 328.45 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).

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.
