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 process- or degradation-related impurity, Norfloxacin Impurity 64 (CAS CATO-C4X-146864, C16H15BClFNO7) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Based on its molecular formula C16H15BClFNO7, Norfloxacin Impurity 64 contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 398.55 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
As a certified reference material (CRM), Norfloxacin Impurity 64 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.
