Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 271.27 g/mol gives Formoterol Impurity 41 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Formoterol Impurity 41 (CAS 51582-41-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C15H13NO4 and a molecular weight of 271.27 g/mol.
Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Formoterol Impurity 41 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 271.27 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Formoterol Impurity 41 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
