Chemical Structure

Vitamin A impurity 5(Mixture of E/Z Isomers) CAS CATO-C4X-25505-SS chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 268.44 g/mol gives Vitamin A impurity 5(Mixture of E/Z Isomers) distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Vitamin A impurity 5(Mixture of E/Z Isomers) (CAS CATO-C4X-25505-SS), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H28, MW 268.44 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a polycyclic aromatic system, Vitamin A impurity 5(Mixture of E/Z Isomers) is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 268.44 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 Vitamin A impurity 5(Mixture of E/Z Isomers) 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.
