Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Asparagine EP Impurity C is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 228.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
CATO supplies Asparagine EP Impurity C (CAS 98490-54-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H12N4O4, MW 228.21 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
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 manufactures Asparagine EP Impurity C 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.
