Testosterone Impurity 13 CAS CATO-C4X-132613 chemical structure

Description

Testosterone Impurity 13 (CAS CATO-C4X-132613) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H30O3 and a molecular weight of 330.46 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Testosterone Impurity 13 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 330.46 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Testosterone Impurity 13 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.
