Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 168.66 g/mol gives Dexmedetomidine Impurity 16 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Dexmedetomidine Impurity 16 (CAS 60907-88-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C10H13Cl and a molecular weight of 168.66 g/mol.
Dexmedetomidine Impurity 16 (C10H13Cl) contains chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.
CATO manufactures Dexmedetomidine Impurity 16 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
