As a certified reference material (CRM), Sulindac impurity 6 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.
CATO supplies Sulindac impurity 6 (CAS CATO-C4X-29306), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H17FO3S, MW 356.41 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Sulindac impurity 6 (C20H17FO3S) contains a steroid core, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).
This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.
