The occurrence of Dequalinium impurity 35 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, iodine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Dequalinium impurity 35 (CAS CATO-C4X-193635), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H30IN2I, MW 552.27 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Dequalinium impurity 35 (C20H30IN2I) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Dequalinium 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.
