The occurrence of Betamethasone Valerate EP Impurity I is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Betamethasone Valerate EP Impurity I (CAS 2802-10-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C26H35FO6, MW 462.55 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Betamethasone Valerate EP Impurity I (C26H35FO6) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 462.55 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Betamethasone Valerate EP Impurity I 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.
