Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Cefepime EP Impurity D Sodium Salt.
Cefepime EP Impurity D Sodium Salt (CAS 78172-35-7) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C6H6N3O3SNa and a molecular weight of 223.18 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C6H6N3O3SNa, Cefepime EP Impurity D Sodium Salt contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 223.18 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Cefepime EP Impurity D Sodium 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.
