Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 440.48 g/mol gives Ceftezole distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Ceftezole (CAS 26973-24-0), molecular formula C13H12N8O4S3 and molecular weight 440.48 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, Ceftezole is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 440.48 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
