Chemical Structure

Cefotaxime EP Impurity A CAS 65052-63-3 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Cefotaxime EP Impurity A is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 397.43 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

Cefotaxime EP Impurity A (CAS 65052-63-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C14H15N5O5S2 and a molecular weight of 397.43 g/mol.

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 Cefotaxime EP Impurity A 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.
