CATO supplies Salbutamol Impurity 169 TFA (CAS CATO-C4X-1176169), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H21NO3C2HF3O2, MW 353.34 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Salbutamol Impurity 169 TFA (C13H21NO3C2HF3O2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 353.34 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Salbutamol Impurity 169 TFA 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.
