Norfloxacin EP Impurity A CAS 68077-26-9

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 269.66 g/mol gives Norfloxacin EP Impurity A distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Norfloxacin EP Impurity A (CAS 68077-26-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C12H9ClFNO3, MW 269.66 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, Norfloxacin EP Impurity A is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 269.66 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
