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.
CATO supplies Afatinib Impurity 72 (CAS 487060-47-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C9H15N2O4P, MW 246.20 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Afatinib Impurity 72 (C9H15N2O4P) contains an amide group, a phosphate ester group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
CATO manufactures Afatinib Impurity 72 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.
