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.
Fosfomycin impurity 40 (CAS CATO-C4X-131640) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C5H13O5P and a molecular weight of 184.13 g/mol.
Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, a phosphate ester group, Fosfomycin impurity 40 is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 184.13 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.
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.
