Description

Prostaglandin B2 CAS NO 13367-85-6 is a naturally occurring prostaglandin, a member of the eicosanoid family of lipid mediators derived from arachidonic acid. It serves as a critical reference standard and research biochemical for studying the complex roles of prostaglandins in physiological and pathological processes. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science sectors who require high-purity biochemicals for analytical, diagnostic, and investigative applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quality control and validation of analytical methods in drug development and manufacturing.
• Biochemical Research: A vital tool for in vitro and in vivo studies investigating prostaglandin metabolism, signaling pathways, and biological activity.
• Diagnostic Kit Development: Employed in the production and calibration of immunoassay kits (e.g., ELISA) for the quantitative detection of prostaglandins and related metabolites in biological samples.
• Metabolomics & Lipidomics: Serves as a key analytical standard in mass spectrometry-based profiling to understand lipid mediator networks in health and disease.
• Academic Research: Fundamental for university and institutional research exploring inflammation, cardiovascular function, renal physiology, and reproductive biology.
• Enzyme Activity Studies: Used as a substrate or product in assays for enzymes involved in the prostaglandin synthesis and degradation pathways, such as prostaglandin dehydrogenases.

Quality Control

Our Prostaglandin B2 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, MS), to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and reference standard applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) providing batch-specific data is supplied with every order.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere. The product is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; allow it to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake and oxidative degradation.
