Cephalosporin antibiotic (first generation)
Identity: Cephradine (anhydrous)
IUPAC name: (6R,7R)-7-[[(2R)-2-amino-2-cyclohexa-1,4-dien-1-ylacetyl]amino]-3-methyl-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid
Method for the $250 identity, purity and quantity test: HPLC-UV purity and assay, LC-MS identity, against a reference standard, with results in 3 to 5 business days.
The USP monograph covers identity by infrared spectroscopy, assay by HPLC, cephalexin content by HPLC, and pH, water, sterility and bacterial endotoxins. Full testing to the USP Cephradine monograph is available and quoted.
Chromatographic purity and mg per unit by the method matched to the compound, identity against a reference standard. 1 unit.

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 Cephradine monograph is available and quoted.
Cephradine and cephalexin differ only by two hydrogen atoms, and cephalexin is a common impurity from synthesis. HPLC separates the two, while their masses differ by only 2 units.
Cephradine can be anhydrous, a monohydrate or a dihydrate. Results are calculated on the anhydrous basis, so water content and the form on the label both matter.
