Description

Azaspiracid2 is a potent marine biotoxin belonging to the azaspiracid class, identified by CAS number 265996-92-7. This compound is of critical importance for research and regulatory testing in food safety and environmental monitoring due to its role in shellfish poisoning. It is primarily needed by analytical laboratories, reference material producers, and toxicology researchers focused on marine biotoxin detection and method development.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for the calibration and validation of analytical methods.
• Food Safety Testing: Critical for the accurate quantification of azaspiracid toxins in shellfish (mussels, oysters, scallops) to ensure compliance with international regulatory limits.
• Toxicological Research: Used in studies to investigate the mechanism of action, toxicokinetics, and chronic health effects of azaspiracid poisoning (AZP).
• Method Development: Essential for developing and optimizing detection techniques such as LC-MS/MS, ELISA, and other bioassays.
• Quality Control: Serves as a system suitability check and positive control in routine laboratory testing for marine biotoxins.
• Environmental Monitoring: Employed in programs tracking harmful algal blooms (HABs) and the presence of toxin-producing phytoplankton.

Quality Control

Our Azaspiracid2 is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including NMR, HRMS, and HPLC to ensure structural identity and high purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific purity, identity confirmation, and impurity profiles are provided to support your research and compliance needs.

Storage

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