Description

Multistriatin is a naturally occurring bicyclic ketal pheromone isolated from the bark beetle *Scolytus multistriatus*. This compound is of significant commercial and research interest due to its role as a key component in the aggregation pheromone complex of the elm bark beetle. It is primarily utilized in the development of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies within the agricultural, forestry, and environmental science sectors. Our high-purity Multistriatin CAS NO 54832-22-3 ensures reliable performance and consistency for critical applications.

Application

• Pheromone Formulations: A primary component in synthetic pheromone blends for monitoring and controlling populations of the smaller European elm bark beetle (*Scolytus multistriatus*).
• Agricultural Pest Management: Used in lure and trap systems as part of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to protect elm trees and other susceptible hardwoods.
• Forestry Research: Serves as a critical standard and active ingredient in entomological studies focused on beetle behavior, ecology, and population dynamics.
• Chemical Ecology Studies: Employed in laboratory and field research to investigate insect communication, host selection, and interspecific interactions.
• Biocontrol Development: A key material in the research and formulation of environmentally friendly, species-specific biocontrol agents that reduce reliance on broad-spectrum insecticides.

Quality Control

Our Multistriatin is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, which is critical for reliable pheromone activity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis to confirm the correct stereochemistry. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your research and formulation requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place at 2-8°C (refrigerated conditions) for long-term stability. Allow the sealed container to reach ambient temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress and volatilization loss.
