CATO manufactures Dopamine Impurity 104 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.
As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Dopamine Impurity 104 (CAS CATO-C4X-1908104, C16H17NO3) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Dopamine Impurity 104 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 271.31 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
