Description

Juvenile Hormone III is a naturally occurring sesquiterpenoid compound that serves as a critical insect growth regulator. It matters because it mimics the action of endogenous juvenile hormones, preventing metamorphosis and reproduction in target insect pests, making it a valuable tool in integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. This product is essential for researchers in agrochemical development, manufacturers of insect growth regulators (IGRs), and laboratories focused on entomology and developmental biology.

Application

• Agrochemical Research & Development: A key reference standard and active ingredient precursor for developing novel insect growth regulators (IGRs) and eco-friendly pesticides.
• Insect Pest Management: Used in studies and formulations aimed at disrupting the life cycle of harmful insects, particularly in stored product protection and forestry.
• Entomological Studies: An indispensable tool for fundamental research in insect physiology, endocrinology, and developmental biology to understand hormonal control mechanisms.
• Vector Control Programs: Investigated for use in controlling populations of disease-carrying insects like mosquitoes by inhibiting their development to adulthood.
• Production of Insect Cell Cultures: Utilized in biotechnology to maintain juvenile states in insect cell lines used for protein expression and virology studies.

Quality Control

Our Juvenile Hormone III is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability, purity, and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at recommended cold temperatures (e.g., -20°C or as specified on the label) to minimize oxidation and degradation. Keep the container in a dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and incompatible materials.
