Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Oxazepam impurity 8.
Oxazepam impurity 8 (CAS CATO-C4X-30908) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C14H11ClN2 and a molecular weight of 242.70 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, Oxazepam impurity 8 is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 242.70 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).
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.
CATO manufactures Oxazepam impurity 8 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.
