CATO manufactures Ibuprofen Impurity 51 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 Ibuprofen Impurity 51 (CAS 43153-03-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C12H15ClO2, MW 226.70 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Based on its molecular formula C12H15ClO2, Ibuprofen Impurity 51 contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 226.70 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
