As a certified reference material (CRM), Febuxostat Impurity 50 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 Febuxostat Impurity 50 (CAS 609-15-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C6H9ClO3, MW 164.59 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Febuxostat Impurity 50 (C6H9ClO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
