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.
CATO supplies Lovastatin Impurity 35 (CAS CATO-C4X-168435), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H28C4H10, MW 242.49 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Based on its molecular formula C13H28C4H10, Lovastatin Impurity 35 contains an organic framework; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 242.49 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Lovastatin Impurity 35 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.
