Structurally, Cefazolin Impurity 68 (C25H24N12O6S6) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 20.0, corresponding to approximately 20 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 780.92 g/mol, it falls into the high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
CATO supplies Cefazolin Impurity 68 (CAS CATO-C4X-157768), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C25H24N12O6S6, MW 780.92 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
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.
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.
