Levocarnitine Impurity 14 CAS 873385-02-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Levocarnitine Impurity 14 (CAS 873385-02-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C6H10O4, MW 146.14 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C6H10O4, Levocarnitine Impurity 14 contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 146.14 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Levocarnitine Impurity 14 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.
