Piracetam Impurity 12 CAS 7060-52-8 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Piracetam Impurity 12 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.

Piracetam Impurity 12 (CAS 7060-52-8) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C8H12N2O and a molecular weight of 152.19 g/mol.

Piracetam Impurity 12 (C8H12N2O) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its physicochemical properties are representative of its class; 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).

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.
