CATO supplies Biotin impurity 22 (CAS 87585-00-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C19H18N2O3, MW 322.36 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Biotin impurity 22 (C19H18N2O3) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 322.36 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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), Biotin impurity 22 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.
