Chemical Structure

Cefaclor EP Impurity A Hydrochloride CAS 25705-52-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 187.62 g/mol gives Cefaclor EP Impurity A Hydrochloride distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Cefaclor EP Impurity A Hydrochloride (CAS 25705-52-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H9NO2HCl, MW 187.62 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C8H9NO2HCl, Cefaclor EP Impurity A Hydrochloride contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 187.62 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cefaclor EP Impurity A Hydrochloride 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.
