Biotin EP Impurity B CAS 57671-79-1 chemical structure

Description

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 Biotin EP Impurity B (CAS 57671-79-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C11H16N2O5S, MW 288.32 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Biotin EP Impurity B is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 288.32 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).

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
