CATO supplies Benzhexol Impurity 4 (CAS CATO-C4X-18574), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H20O, MW 216.32 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Benzhexol Impurity 4 (C15H20O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 216.32 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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 Benzhexol Impurity 4 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.
