Description

Pectenotoxin CAS NO 119166-88-0 is a potent marine biotoxin belonging to the polyether macrolide class, primarily produced by certain dinoflagellates. This compound is of significant interest in toxicology and environmental monitoring due to its specific biological activity. It serves as a critical reference standard and research material for scientists and professionals in marine science, food safety, and pharmaceutical development.

Application

• Marine Toxin Research: Used as a certified reference material for studying the toxicology, mechanism of action, and environmental impact of algal blooms.
• Food Safety Testing: Essential for the development and calibration of analytical methods (e.g., LC-MS/MS) to detect and quantify pectenotoxin contamination in shellfish and seafood.
• Biochemical Tool: Employed in pharmacological studies to investigate its effects on cellular cytoskeleton and as a probe for specific biological pathways.
• Method Validation: Acts as a critical quality control standard in laboratories to validate and ensure the accuracy of toxin detection protocols.
• Regulatory Compliance: Supports monitoring programs and compliance with international food safety regulations (e.g., EU, FDA) regarding marine biotoxins.

Quality Control

Every batch of our Pectenotoxin is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure the highest standards of purity and identity for research applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as purity, identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, and impurity profiles. Our quality system is designed to support GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) and regulatory requirements for reference standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation. The material should be stored in a dedicated freezer for hazardous or high-value biochemicals.
