Description

Enterotoxin C, Staphylococcal is a potent bacterial exotoxin produced by certain strains of *Staphylococcus aureus*. This high-purity reference standard is critical for research and diagnostic applications, enabling the study of foodborne illness mechanisms and the development of detection assays. It is an essential material for scientists and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, food safety, and immunology sectors requiring precise and reliable biological reagents.

Application

• Research & Diagnostic Standard: Primary reference material for the calibration and validation of analytical methods, including ELISA and PCR-based tests, for Staphylococcal Enterotoxin detection.
• Immunological Studies: Used to investigate immune response, T-cell activation (superantigen activity), and the pathogenesis of Staphylococcal food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome.
• Food Safety Testing: Critical component in the development and quality control of commercial test kits designed to screen for SE contamination in food products.
• Vaccine & Antitoxin Development: Serves as a key antigen in research aimed at creating prophylactic and therapeutic countermeasures against Staphylococcal toxin-mediated diseases.
• Quality Control in Biologics: Employed in pharmaceutical QC labs to validate assay sensitivity and specificity for potential contaminant testing.

Quality Control

Our Enterotoxin C, Staphylococcal is produced and handled under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and biological activity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive purity analysis, including SDS-PAGE and HPLC, and is tested for endotoxin levels. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific activity is provided with every shipment to support your regulatory and research requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized material at -20°C or below. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -70°C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed under anhydrous conditions.
