Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 267.11 g/mol gives Diclofenac Impurity 20 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Diclofenac Impurity 20 (CAS 60805-31-4), molecular formula C13H8Cl2O2 and molecular weight 267.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Diclofenac Impurity 20 (C13H8Cl2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, 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).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Diclofenac Impurity 20 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.
