Cefotaxime Impurity 44 CAS 47288-83-5 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cefotaxime Impurity 44 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.

Cefotaxime Impurity 44 (CAS 47288-83-5) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H18N2O4S and a molecular weight of 334.39 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C16H18N2O4S, Cefotaxime Impurity 44 contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 334.39 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
