As a certified reference material (CRM), Norepinephrine Impurity 81 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 Norepinephrine Impurity 81 (CAS 779288-87-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C11H17NO3, MW 211.26 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Norepinephrine Impurity 81 (C11H17NO3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
