Purity and quantity is $250 per sample (1 unit) and raw powder purity is $200 for 50 mg, with results in 3 to 5 business days. Send the material sealed and labeled, with the label claim and the form it contains.
No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by HPLC-UV for purity and assay, with LC-MS to confirm identity. Full testing to the USP Cefaclor monograph is available and quoted.
Cefaclor is normally the monohydrate, and USP expresses potency on the anhydrous basis. Water content is part of that calculation, so tell us which basis you need.
Like other beta-lactams, cefaclor hydrolyzes in solution, especially at neutral to alkaline pH. Samples are prepared fresh and run promptly, and breakdown products appear as extra peaks in the HPLC profile.
Usually powder, capsules, extended-release tablets or powder for oral suspension. Each needs its own extraction, so tell us the form when you submit.
