The occurrence of Ceftazidime EP Impurity B is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Ceftazidime EP Impurity B (CAS 97148-38-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C22H22N6O7S2, MW 546.58 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Based on its molecular formula C22H22N6O7S2, Ceftazidime EP Impurity B contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 546.58 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).
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), Ceftazidime EP Impurity B 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.
