Based on its molecular formula C2H3N4SK, Cefoperazone EP Impurity C (Potassium salt) contains a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 154.23 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
CATO supplies Cefoperazone EP Impurity C (Potassium salt) (CAS 62557-28-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C2H3N4SK, MW 154.23 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Cefoperazone EP Impurity C (Potassium salt) 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.
