Chemical Structure

Ertapenem Impurity C90 CAS 87691-27-8 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ertapenem Impurity C90 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.

Ertapenem Impurity C90 (CAS 87691-27-8) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C10H17NO5 and a molecular weight of 231.25 g/mol.

Structurally, Ertapenem Impurity C90 (C10H17NO5) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 231.25 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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.
