As a certified reference material (CRM), Salicylic Acid Impurity 27 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.
CATO supplies Salicylic Acid Impurity 27 (CAS 51904-91-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H7ClO5S, MW 250.66 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Salicylic Acid Impurity 27 (C8H7ClO5S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
