Description

Serricornin is a high-purity, volatile pheromone compound with the CAS registry number 72598-35-7. This specialized chemical is a critical active ingredient in the formulation of advanced insect behavior modifiers for integrated pest management (IPM) systems. It is essential for manufacturers and researchers in the agricultural, environmental science, and specialty chemical sectors seeking reliable, high-quality active ingredients for sustainable crop protection solutions.

Application

• Agricultural Pest Control: Primary use as a key component in pheromone-based lures and traps for monitoring and controlling pest populations in stored products and certain field crops.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Formulated into mating disruption dispensers to interfere with insect reproduction cycles, reducing reliance on conventional insecticides.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and active material in entomological research, behavioral studies, and the development of new biocontrol agents.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Used as a chiral building block or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex pheromone analogs and related bioactive compounds.
• Environmental Monitoring: Incorporated into devices for tracking the spread and population density of specific insect species in ecological studies.

Quality Control

Our Serricornin is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic techniques (GC, HPLC) to confirm identity, potency, and the absence of critical impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, specific rotation, and chromatographic profile is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) for long-term stability. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential contamination.
