Description

Brevetoxin 9 CAS NO 155751-73-8 is a potent marine neurotoxin belonging to the brevetoxin class, a group of cyclic polyether compounds primarily produced by the dinoflagellate *Karenia brevis*. This high-purity reference standard is critical for research and analytical applications where precise chemical identification and quantification are paramount. It serves as an essential tool for scientists in toxicology, environmental monitoring, and pharmaceutical development who require reliable materials for method validation, calibration, and investigative studies.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified standard for the accurate calibration and validation of analytical methods such as LC-MS/MS and HPLC in environmental and food safety testing laboratories.
• Toxicological Research: Fundamental compound for studying the mechanisms of neurotoxicity, sodium channel modulation, and the physiological effects of harmful algal bloom (HAB) toxins.
• Environmental Monitoring: Used in the development and quality control of test kits and assays designed to detect and quantify brevetoxins in seawater, shellfish, and marine aerosols.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a key molecule in drug discovery research aimed at developing treatments for brevetoxin exposure or exploring its structure for novel therapeutic leads.
• Regulatory Compliance & Food Safety: Essential for testing laboratories to ensure compliance with seafood safety regulations by accurately measuring brevetoxin contamination levels.

Quality Control

Every batch of Brevetoxin 9 is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency for research applications. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, to ensure compliance with industry standards for reference materials. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific purity, identification data, and chromatographic profiles are available upon request to support your regulatory and research documentation needs.

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 condensation. The material should be handled in a controlled environment to maintain its integrity as a reference standard.
