Midazolam EP Impurity B CAS 59469-74-8 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Midazolam EP Impurity B 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 Midazolam EP Impurity B (CAS 59469-74-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H13ClFN3, MW 325.77 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C18H13ClFN3, Midazolam EP Impurity B contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 325.77 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
