Description

Enniatin C is a cyclic hexadepsipeptide mycotoxin belonging to the enniatin family, identified by CAS NO 19893-23-3. This compound is of significant interest in research and development due to its potent ionophoric and antibiotic properties, which allow it to transport ions across biological membranes. It serves as a critical reference standard and biochemical tool for scientists in the fields of toxicology, pharmacology, and agricultural chemistry, enabling the study of mycotoxin contamination, mode of action, and the development of detection methods.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for the accurate quantification and identification of enniatin mycotoxins in food, feed, and environmental samples via HPLC-MS/MS.
• Biochemical Research: Investigation of ion transport mechanisms across cell membranes and studies on mitochondrial function due to its ionophoric activity.
• Pharmacological Studies: Exploration of its antibiotic, antifungal, and potential cytotoxic properties for novel drug discovery and mechanism of action research.
• Toxicology & Food Safety: Used in assays to assess the toxicological profile and health risks associated with enniatin exposure from Fusarium-contaminated grains.
• Method Development & Validation: Essential for developing, calibrating, and validating analytical methods in compliance with food safety regulations.
• Quality Control Laboratories: Serves as an internal standard for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of mycotoxin testing in commercial and regulatory labs.

Quality Control

Every batch of Enniatin C is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols. Our products undergo rigorous identity, purity, and stability testing to ensure compliance with the high standards required for research and analytical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing batch-specific results for assay, purity, and identification, is provided and available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a desiccated environment to maintain stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
