Description

Prymnesin CAS NO 11025-94-8 is a potent bioactive polyether compound, a class of toxins produced by certain marine microalgae, notably from the genus *Prymnesium*. This product is of significant interest for advanced research and development due to its specific biological activity. It serves as a critical reference standard and active ingredient for scientists and professionals in marine biology, toxicology, and environmental monitoring.

Application

• Marine Toxin Research: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the study of harmful algal blooms (HABs) and ichthyotoxic mechanisms.
• Environmental Monitoring: Employed in the development and calibration of analytical methods (e.g., LC-MS/MS) for detecting and quantifying prymnesins in water samples.
• Toxicological Studies: Serves as a key reagent in bioassays to investigate the cytotoxic and hemolytic effects of algal toxins on fish and other aquatic organisms.
• Pharmaceutical Discovery: Investigated for its bioactive properties in early-stage research for novel therapeutic agents.
• Aquaculture Safety: Used to develop mitigation strategies and early warning systems for toxin outbreaks in fish farms.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Essential for universities and government labs conducting fundamental research on algal physiology and marine ecology.

Quality Control

Our Prymnesin is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for research purposes. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identification, and relevant analytical data (e.g., HPLC, MS) is provided to guarantee it meets the stringent requirements for use as a reference standard.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under anhydrous conditions to maintain stability. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation.
