CATO supplies Sorafenib Impurity 38 (CAS 862875-16-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H17F3N4O4, MW 446.38 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Sorafenib Impurity 38 (C21H17F3N4O4) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 14.0, corresponding to approximately 14 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 446.38 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Sorafenib Impurity 38 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.
