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.
CATO supplies Econazole Impurity 5 (CAS 81547-71-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H5Cl3O, MW 223.48 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Econazole Impurity 5 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 223.48 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
