As a certified reference material (CRM), Ketotifen Impurity 19 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.
CATO supplies Ketotifen Impurity 19 (CAS 34580-20-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H17NOS, MW 295.40 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Ketotifen Impurity 19 (C18H17NOS) contains a steroid core, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
