Description

γ-Multistriatin is a specific stereoisomer of multistriatin, a pheromone compound originally identified in the elm bark beetle. This high-purity chemical is critical for research and development in the field of insect behavior and pest management. It serves as a key analytical standard and active ingredient for scientists and formulators developing targeted, species-specific insect control solutions. Industries involved in agricultural technology, environmental science, and fundamental entomological research rely on its precise chemical profile.

Application

• Pheromone Research Standard: Used as a high-purity reference material in analytical laboratories for the identification and quantification of insect pheromones.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM): A critical component in the formulation of attractants for monitoring and mass trapping of specific bark beetle species, particularly in forestry.
• Behavioral Ecology Studies: Employed in scientific studies to understand insect communication, mating behaviors, and host selection mechanisms.
• Agrochemical R&D: Serves as a starting material or intermediate for the synthesis of novel insect behavior modifiers and more potent pheromone analogs.
• Environmental Monitoring: Used in lures for trapping programs aimed at surveying and detecting pest insect populations.

Quality Control

Our γ-Multistriatin is produced under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity, essential for research and formulation. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including GC, HPLC, and NMR to confirm identity and isomeric purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and chromatographic profile is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are securely sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential concentration changes.
