Description

Pyochelin is a high-purity siderophore compound, a natural iron-chelating agent produced by certain bacteria. Its primary value lies in its role as a critical research tool for studying microbial iron acquisition, host-pathogen interactions, and as a potential precursor for novel antimicrobial strategies. This product is essential for researchers and developers in the fields of microbiology, pharmaceutical development, and agricultural science who require a reliable, high-quality standard for their investigations.

Application

• Microbiological Research: Used as a standard or reagent in studies of bacterial iron metabolism, siderophore biosynthesis, and virulence factor regulation.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Investigated for its potential in developing novel antibiotic or antifungal agents that target iron-scavenging pathways.
• Plant-Microbe Interaction Studies: Applied in research on biocontrol agents and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria that utilize siderophores.
• Environmental Science: Employed in studies of microbial ecology, bioremediation, and the role of siderophores in nutrient cycling in soil and water.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Serves as a certified reference material for the identification and quantification of pyochelin in complex biological matrices using HPLC or LC-MS.
• Biochemical Assays: Utilized in enzymatic assays and in vitro studies to elucidate the mechanism of iron chelation and transport.

Quality Control

Our Pyochelin is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) providing batch-specific data is available for every shipment upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as indicated on the label or COA. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept sealed in a desiccated environment when not in use to prevent moisture absorption.
