Chemical Structure

Cefaclor EP Impurity B CAS 53994-69-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 234.66 g/mol gives Cefaclor EP Impurity B distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Cefaclor EP Impurity B (CAS 53994-69-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C7H7ClN2O3S, MW 234.66 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Cefaclor EP Impurity B is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 234.66 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).

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.

CATO manufactures Cefaclor EP Impurity B 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.
