Chemical Structure

Ergometrine EP Impurity B CAS 478-95-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 268.31 g/mol gives Ergometrine EP Impurity B distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Ergometrine EP Impurity B (CAS 478-95-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H16N2O2, MW 268.31 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C16H16N2O2, Ergometrine EP Impurity B contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 268.31 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

CATO manufactures Ergometrine EP Impurity B 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.
