Description

Yessotoxin is a polycyclic ether toxin produced by certain marine dinoflagellates, primarily associated with algal blooms. This compound is of significant interest for its potent biological activity and serves as a critical reference standard in marine toxin research and food safety monitoring. It is essential for analytical laboratories, regulatory bodies, and research institutions focused on shellfish toxicity, environmental monitoring, and the development of detection methods.

Application

• Marine Toxin Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified analytical standard for the calibration and validation of detection equipment (e.g., LC-MS/MS).
• Shellfish Safety Testing: Critical for quantifying Yessotoxin levels in shellfish to ensure compliance with international food safety regulations (e.g., EU, FDA).
• Diagnostic Kit Development: Serves as a key antigen or target in the development of immunoassays and biosensors for rapid toxin screening.
• Pharmacological Research: Investigated for its specific effects on cellular pathways, particularly its activity on calcium channels and apoptosis.
• Quality Control in Seafood Industry: Employed by seafood producers and processors for in-house monitoring programs to prevent contaminated products from entering the market.

Quality Control

Our Yessotoxin is produced and handled under strict quality-controlled conditions suitable for analytical and research use. Each batch is characterized using advanced spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques to ensure identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing batch-specific results for purity, identity confirmation, and related substances, is provided to guarantee traceability and reliability for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere to minimize oxidation. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
