Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 274.79 g/mol gives Gadoxetate Impurity 1 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Gadoxetate Impurity 1 (CAS CATO-C4X-26181), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H22N2O2HCl, MW 274.79 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Gadoxetate Impurity 1 (C13H22N2O2HCl) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
