Chemical Structure

Betacarotene impurity 10 CAS CATO-C4X-281510 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Betacarotene impurity 10 (CAS CATO-C4X-281510), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C30H40O2, MW 432.64 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Betacarotene impurity 10 (C30H40O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 11.0, corresponding to approximately 11 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 432.64 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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), Betacarotene 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.
