Chemical Structure

Cephalotin CAS 153-61-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Cephalotin is closely related to a flavonoid core, 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.

Cephalotin (CAS 153-61-7), molecular formula C16H16N2O6S2 and molecular weight 396.44 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Cephalotin is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 396.44 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.

CATO manufactures Cephalotin 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.
