Description

Dimeric Hemoglobin, Scapharca Inaequivalvis CAS NO 151087-63-7 is a specialized, high-purity protein derivative isolated from the blood clam, *Scapharca inaequivalvis*. This unique dimeric form of hemoglobin offers distinct functional properties compared to standard mammalian hemoglobins, making it a valuable tool for advanced biochemical and biomedical research. It is essential for scientists and developers in the fields of oxygen transport studies, bio-sensing applications, and as a reference standard in comparative physiology. Its stability and specific ligand-binding characteristics provide critical insights for developing novel therapeutic and diagnostic platforms.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a model protein for studying the structure, function, and evolution of invertebrate hemoglobins and their unique oxygen-binding kinetics.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity calibrant and quality control standard in analytical laboratories for protein quantification and characterization.
• Oxygen Carrier Studies: Investigated in the development of novel blood substitutes and oxygen-therapeutic agents due to its stable dimeric structure.
• Biosensor Development: Employed in the fabrication of sensitive bio-sensors for detecting oxygen, nitric oxide, or other small molecules.
• Enzymology & Catalysis: Studied for its potential peroxidase-like activity and interactions in various enzymatic pathways.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Utilized in preclinical research for evaluating biodistribution, toxicity, and efficacy of hemoglobin-based products.

Quality Control

Our Dimeric Hemoglobin, Scapharca Inaequivalvis is produced and controlled under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), UV-Vis spectroscopy, and HPLC analysis to ensure identity, purity, and functional activity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided and available upon request, supporting compliance with research and development standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake. For extended storage of aliquoted solutions, consider using an inert atmosphere.
