Meropenem Impurity 31 (CAS CATO-C4X-130931) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C7H14N2OSHCl and a molecular weight of 210.72 g/mol.
Meropenem Impurity 31 (C7H14N2OSHCl) contains an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
