Description

Algae Bloom Standard, Algae Bloom Toxin, Biotoxin, Cyanobacterial Toxin is a certified reference material (CRM) used for the accurate identification and quantification of harmful algal bloom (HAB) toxins in environmental and food safety testing. This high-purity standard is critical for ensuring the reliability and compliance of analytical methods in water quality monitoring and public health protection. It is an essential tool for environmental testing laboratories, regulatory agencies, and research institutions focused on cyanobacterial risk assessment.

Application

• Analytical Method Calibration & Validation: Primary standard for calibrating HPLC, LC-MS/MS, and ELISA systems used in toxin analysis.
• Environmental Water Monitoring: Quantifying cyanotoxin levels in freshwater reservoirs, lakes, and recreational waters to assess public health risks.
• Food & Dietary Supplement Safety Testing: Detecting and measuring toxin contamination in shellfish, fish, and algal-based products.
• Quality Control & Proficiency Testing: Used as a known reference in laboratory QC programs and inter-laboratory comparison studies.
• Toxicological Research: Serves as a pure compound for studying the effects, metabolism, and treatment of cyanobacterial poisonings.
• Regulatory Compliance: Enables testing against guidelines set by agencies like the EPA, WHO, and EFSA for safe water and food limits.

Quality Control

This certified reference material is produced and verified under a strict quality management system. Each batch is characterized using orthogonal analytical techniques including high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to confirm identity and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided, detailing the certified value, measurement uncertainty, and traceability to national or international standards. Our quality protocols ensure compliance with ISO Guide 34 for reference material producers.

Storage

Preserve in the original tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation. For short-term use, store desiccated at 2-8°C.
