Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Carboplatin Impurity 6.
CATO supplies Carboplatin Impurity 6 (CAS 3721-95-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C5H8O2, MW 100.12 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Carboplatin Impurity 6 (C5H8O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 100.12 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.
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 Carboplatin Impurity 6 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.
