Description

Salmon Growth Hormone Type I is a purified recombinant protein hormone critical for regulating growth and development in teleost fish. This high-purity biological agent is essential for advancing aquaculture research and enhancing commercial fish farming productivity. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, biotech companies, and aquaculture operations focused on growth optimization and physiological studies.

Application

• Aquaculture Growth Enhancement: Used in controlled studies to accelerate growth rates and improve feed conversion efficiency in salmonids and other commercially farmed fish species.
• Physiological & Endocrine Research: Serves as a key reagent in laboratory investigations of fish growth hormone pathways, receptor binding, and metabolic regulation.
• Biopharmaceutical Development: Acts as a reference standard or active ingredient in the development of veterinary therapeutics and growth-promoting formulations for aquaculture.
• Nutritional Studies: Employed in research to understand the interplay between diet, hormone levels, and growth performance in aquatic species.
• Selective Breeding Programs: Used as a biomarker or treatment to assess growth potential and select superior genetic lines in fish breeding.

Quality Control

Our Salmon Growth Hormone Type I is produced under stringent conditions to ensure high biological activity and purity. Each batch is subjected to a comprehensive suite of analytical tests, including identity confirmation, purity assessment, and potency testing. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity (by HPLC), endotoxin levels, and biological activity are available upon request to support your research and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized material at -20°C or below. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -80°C to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed under anhydrous conditions.
