Methylene blue Impurity 9 CAS CATO-C4X-18969 chemical structure

Description

Methylene blue Impurity 9 (CAS CATO-C4X-18969) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C12H6I2NSI and a molecular weight of 576.95 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Methylene blue Impurity 9 (C12H6I2NSI) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, iodine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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 Methylene blue Impurity 9 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.
