Cefotaxime S-Oxide 2 CAS 71048-88-9 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Cefotaxime S-Oxide 2 (CAS 71048-88-9), molecular formula C16H17N5O8S2 and molecular weight 471.46 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Cefotaxime S-Oxide 2 (C16H17N5O8S2) 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
