Description

Azaspiracid3 is a potent marine biotoxin belonging to the azaspiracid class of polyether compounds. This high-purity reference material is critical for analytical research, method development, and regulatory compliance testing in food and environmental safety sectors. It is essential for laboratories and institutions involved in the detection and quantification of marine toxins, particularly in shellfish monitoring programs. The compound is supplied with comprehensive analytical documentation to ensure traceability and reliability for your critical applications.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified calibrant and control for the accurate quantification of azaspiracid toxins via LC-MS/MS, HPLC, and other analytical techniques.
• Toxicological Research: Fundamental material for studying the mechanism of action, metabolism, and chronic effects of azaspiracid poisoning (AZP) in biomedical and pharmacological research.
• Food Safety Testing: Critical component in quality control laboratories for monitoring and confirming the presence of azaspiracid contaminants in shellfish (mussels, oysters, scallops) and other seafood products to ensure regulatory compliance.
• Method Development & Validation: Used by analytical chemists to develop, optimize, and validate new detection methods for marine biotoxins in complex matrices.
• Production of Certified Reference Materials (CRMs): Serves as a source material for accredited manufacturers producing CRMs for national monitoring programs and proficiency testing schemes.
• Environmental Monitoring: Applied in studies investigating harmful algal blooms (HABs) and the ecology of toxin-producing phytoplankton species.

Quality Control

Every batch of Azaspiracid3 is manufactured and purified under controlled conditions, followed by rigorous identity confirmation and purity analysis using state-of-the-art techniques. Our quality assurance protocol ensures the material meets the stringent requirements for use as an analytical standard. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing batch-specific results for purity, identity, and impurities. Our processes are designed to support compliance with international food safety and laboratory accreditation standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dedicated freezer. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity. For long-term stability, store under an inert atmosphere if the vial is opened frequently.
