CATO manufactures Fluorouracil Impurity 11 (Mixture of Diastereomers) 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.
CATO supplies Fluorouracil Impurity 11 (Mixture of Diastereomers) (CAS 37103-91-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C4H5FN2O3, MW 148.09 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Based on its molecular formula C4H5FN2O3, Fluorouracil Impurity 11 (Mixture of Diastereomers) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 148.09 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
