Chemical Structure

Clotrimazole Impurity 20 CAS 27023-37-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Clotrimazole Impurity 20.

CATO supplies Clotrimazole Impurity 20 (CAS 27023-37-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C19H14Cl2, MW 313.22 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C19H14Cl2, Clotrimazole Impurity 20 contains chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 313.22 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 Clotrimazole Impurity 20 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.
