Chemical Structure

Ampicillin EP Impurity D CAS 32746-94-4 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ampicillin EP Impurity D 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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Ampicillin EP Impurity D (CAS 32746-94-4, C16H21N3O5S) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Ampicillin EP Impurity D (C16H21N3O5S) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.
