Chemical Structure

Cholesterol Impurity 40 CAS 64907-24-0 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C29H44O3, Cholesterol Impurity 40 contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 440.66 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO supplies Cholesterol Impurity 40 (CAS 64907-24-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C29H44O3, MW 440.66 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cholesterol Impurity 40 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.
