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 supplies Berberine Impurity 10 (CAS CATO-C4X-219910), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H18NO4Cl, MW 371.82 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Berberine Impurity 10 (C20H18NO4Cl) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 371.82 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
As a certified reference material (CRM), Berberine Impurity 10 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.
