Progesterone Impurity 98 CAS 3946-26-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Progesterone Impurity 98 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 Progesterone Impurity 98 (CAS 3946-26-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C22H30O2, MW 326.47 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Progesterone Impurity 98 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 326.47 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
