The occurrence of Bacitracin Zinc is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Bacitracin Zinc (CAS 1405-89-6), molecular formula C66H101N17O16SZn and molecular weight 1486.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Bacitracin Zinc is typically pale yellow to yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 1486.08 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 is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Bacitracin Zinc 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.
