Description

Azaspiracid1 is a potent marine biotoxin belonging to the azaspiracid class of polyether compounds. It is a critical reference standard and research material for the study of shellfish poisoning and the development of detection methods. This compound is primarily utilized by analytical laboratories, regulatory agencies, and research institutions focused on food safety, toxicology, and marine natural products. Its precise chemical structure makes it essential for calibration, method validation, and investigative studies into azaspiracid poisoning (AZP) syndromes.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use for calibrating analytical equipment such as LC-MS/MS for accurate quantification of azaspiracids in samples.
• Toxicological Research: Fundamental material for studying the mechanism of action, metabolism, and chronic effects of azaspiracid poisoning in model systems.
• Method Development & Validation: Essential for developing, optimizing, and validating official testing methods for shellfish safety monitoring.
• Food Safety & Regulatory Compliance: Used by testing laboratories to ensure shellfish products comply with international regulatory limits for marine biotoxins.
• Production of Certified Reference Materials (CRMs): Serves as a high-purity starting material for CRM manufacturers supplying quality control programs worldwide.
• Antibody & Assay Development: Key antigen for the development of immunoassays and biosensors for rapid screening of contaminated seafood.

Quality Control

Our Azaspiracid1 is produced and handled under strict quality-controlled conditions suitable for analytical and research use. Each batch is characterized using advanced spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques, including NMR and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, detailing purity, identity confirmation, and impurity profile to ensure reliability and traceability for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under anhydrous conditions to maintain stability and purity. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation.
