Based on its molecular formula C14H12BrN, N-Ethylcarbazole Impurity 3 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 274.16 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
CATO supplies N-Ethylcarbazole Impurity 3 (CAS 56166-63-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C14H12BrN, MW 274.16 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), N-Ethylcarbazole Impurity 3 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.
