Formoterol Impurity 97 CAS CATO-C4X-152597 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Formoterol Impurity 97 (CAS CATO-C4X-152597), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C19H24N2O3, MW 328.41 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Formoterol Impurity 97 (C19H24N2O3) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Formoterol Impurity 97 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.
