As a certified reference material (CRM), Penicillin Impurity 41 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.
CATO supplies Penicillin Impurity 41 (CAS CATO-C4X-189941), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C32H38N4O9S2, MW 686.80 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Penicillin Impurity 41 (C32H38N4O9S2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
