Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 340.74 g/mol gives Chlortalidone EP Impurity A distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Chlortalidone EP Impurity A (CAS 345930-32-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C14H9ClO6S, MW 340.74 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Chlortalidone EP Impurity A (C14H9ClO6S) is characterized by a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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), Chlortalidone EP Impurity A 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.
