As a certified reference material (CRM), Cefuroxime Sodium EP Impurity I(Ammonium 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.
CATO supplies Cefuroxime Sodium EP Impurity I(Ammonium Salt) (CAS 97148-39-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C7H6NO4H4N, MW 186.17 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Cefuroxime Sodium EP Impurity I(Ammonium Salt) (C7H6NO4H4N) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).
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.
