Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 298.33 g/mol gives Posaconazole impurity 226 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Posaconazole impurity 226 (CAS CATO-C4X-1208226) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H20F2O3 and a molecular weight of 298.33 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Posaconazole impurity 226 (C16H20F2O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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), Posaconazole impurity 226 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.
