Description

Scombrotoxin CAS NO 82027-58-5 is a critical reference standard and analytical reagent used for the detection and quantification of histamine and related biogenic amines. This compound is essential for ensuring food safety and quality control, particularly in the seafood and processed food industries. It is primarily utilized by analytical laboratories, food safety regulators, and quality assurance departments within food production and processing facilities to monitor for scombroid poisoning risks.

Application

• Food Safety Testing: Primary calibrant for the quantitative analysis of histamine in fish (e.g., tuna, mackerel, mahi-mahi) and other food products to prevent scombroid food poisoning.
• Quality Control Reference: Serves as a certified reference material (CRM) in HPLC, LC-MS/MS, and ELISA methods to validate analytical procedures and ensure accurate results.
• Regulatory Compliance: Used by testing laboratories to verify compliance with international food safety standards set by agencies like the FDA, EFSA, and Codex Alimentarius.
• Research & Development: Employed in biochemical and toxicological studies to understand histamine formation, degradation, and its physiological effects.
• Diagnostic Kit Manufacturing: A key component in the production and calibration of rapid test kits and immunoassays for on-site histamine detection.
• Pharmaceutical Analysis: Potential use in monitoring histamine levels in certain pharmaceutical preparations and in clinical research settings.

Quality Control

Every batch of our Scombrotoxin is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. The material undergoes identity confirmation and purity verification using advanced analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry and chromatography to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for reference materials. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific purity, analytical methods, and traceability is provided with each shipment to support your compliance and documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; ensure the container is kept sealed in a desiccated environment away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and purity.
