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.
CATO supplies Loxoprofen Impurity 68 (CAS 83648-76-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H20O3, MW 248.32 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Based on its molecular formula C15H20O3, Loxoprofen Impurity 68 contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 248.32 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
CATO manufactures Loxoprofen Impurity 68 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
