Description

Gonyautoxin Vi (CAS NO 82810-44-4) is a potent neurotoxin belonging to the saxitoxin family, a group of naturally occurring compounds produced by certain marine dinoflagellates. This high-purity reference standard is critical for analytical research, environmental monitoring, and the development of detection methods for paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP). It is an essential material for toxicology laboratories, regulatory agencies, and pharmaceutical researchers focused on marine biotoxins and their mechanisms of action.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified calibrant for the precise quantification of PSP toxins in shellfish, seawater, and algal samples via techniques like HPLC-FLD, LC-MS/MS, and ELISA.
• Toxicological Research: Fundamental tool for studying the structure-activity relationships, metabolism, and pharmacological effects of saxitoxin analogues on voltage-gated sodium channels.
• Method Development & Validation: Critical for developing, optimizing, and validating new analytical methods to comply with international food safety regulations (e.g., EU, FDA, Codex Alimentarius).
• Quality Control & Proficiency Testing: Used in the preparation of control materials and in inter-laboratory proficiency testing schemes to ensure accuracy and consistency across monitoring networks.
• Pharmaceutical & Biomedical Research: Serves as a molecular probe for neurological studies and potential precursor in the synthesis of novel pharmacological tools or targeted therapeutics.
• Environmental Monitoring & Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) Research: Enables the specific identification and tracking of toxin profiles produced by algal blooms, aiding in ecological and climate impact studies.

Quality Control

Our Gonyautoxin Vi is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure the identity, purity, and stability required for critical research and calibration. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing results from multiple orthogonal analytical techniques, including NMR, HPLC, and MS. We adhere to the highest standards for reference materials, ensuring traceability and reliability for regulatory and scientific applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be allowed to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation. Store in a dedicated, secure freezer for toxic substances.
