CATO manufactures Cefepime EP Impurity E(HCl) 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.
Cefepime EP Impurity E(HCl) (CAS 103121-85-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C13H20N3O3SHClCl and a molecular weight of 370.29 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Cefepime EP Impurity E(HCl) (C13H20N3O3SHClCl) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
