CATO supplies Cefpodoxime Proxetil Impurity 41 (CAS 98298-66-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C6H11ClO3, MW 166.60 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Cefpodoxime Proxetil Impurity 41 (C6H11ClO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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), Cefpodoxime Proxetil Impurity 41 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.
