Chemical Structure

Pefloxacin Methane Sulfonate Dihydrate CAS 149676-40-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Pefloxacin Methane Sulfonate Dihydrate (CAS 149676-40-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H20FN3O3CH4O3SH2O, MW 447.48 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Pefloxacin Methane Sulfonate Dihydrate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 447.48 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 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.

CATO manufactures Pefloxacin Methane Sulfonate Dihydrate 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.
