Cefoxitin Impurity 24 CAS CATO-C4X-157824 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cefoxitin Impurity 24 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 Cefoxitin Impurity 24 (CAS CATO-C4X-157824), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C17H19N3O7S2, MW 441.48 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C17H19N3O7S2, Cefoxitin Impurity 24 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 441.48 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.
