Formoterol EP Impurity B (Trifluoroacetic Acid) CAS CATO-C4X-152532 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Formoterol EP Impurity B (Trifluoroacetic Acid).

Formoterol EP Impurity B (Trifluoroacetic Acid) (CAS CATO-C4X-152532) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H22N2O4C2HF3O2 and a molecular weight of 444.41 g/mol.

Formoterol EP Impurity B (Trifluoroacetic Acid) (C18H22N2O4C2HF3O2) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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.

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.

CATO manufactures Formoterol EP Impurity B (Trifluoroacetic Acid) under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
