Description

Cefonicid Sodium CAS NO 61270-78-8 is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic in its sodium salt form, offering enhanced stability and solubility for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Its primary value lies in providing a broad-spectrum antibacterial foundation for injectable formulations targeting serious infections. This high-purity active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry developing sterile parenteral drugs, particularly for hospital-use antibiotics.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Core active ingredient in the manufacture of sterile injectable antibiotic formulations.
• Parenteral Solutions: Used in the production of lyophilized (freeze-dried) powders for reconstitution or ready-to-use injectable solutions.
• Broad-Spectrum Antibiotics: Effective in formulations targeting infections caused by susceptible Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
• Hospital Pharmacies: Sourced for the preparation of specific patient-specific intravenous treatments under controlled environments.
• Clinical Research: Serves as a reference standard or raw material in preclinical and clinical studies for new antibacterial therapies.
• Veterinary Medicine: Potential use in developing injectable antibacterial treatments for animal health.

Quality Control

Our Cefonicid Sodium is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent degradation.
