Description

Serotonin o-Sulfate is a sulfated derivative of the essential neurotransmitter serotonin, serving as a key metabolite and research standard. This compound is crucial for studying serotonin metabolism, transport, and its role in neurological and gastrointestinal functions. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and diagnostic sectors for analytical and biochemical applications.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard in studies of serotonin metabolism, sulfation pathways, and neurotransmitter regulation.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a critical intermediate or analytical standard in the development of drugs targeting the central nervous system (CNS) and enteric nervous system.
• Diagnostic Assays: Employed in the calibration and validation of diagnostic kits and analytical methods (e.g., HPLC, LC-MS) for quantifying serotonin and its metabolites in biological samples.
• Neuroscience Studies: A vital tool for investigating the role of sulfated neurotransmitters in brain function, behavior, and related disorders.
• Enzymology: Used as a substrate for studying the activity of sulfotransferases and other enzymes involved in phase II drug metabolism.

Quality Control

Our Serotonin o-Sulfate is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for sensitive research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods and purity assessment by chromatography. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee product integrity and support your compliance needs.

Storage

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