Description

α-Chaconine:α-Solaninemixture CAS NO 88251-32-5 is a defined mixture of two major steroidal glycoalkaloids, α-chaconine and α-solanine, which are naturally occurring secondary metabolites found in plants of the Solanaceae family. This high-purity reference standard is critical for analytical and research applications requiring precise quantification and identification of these compounds. It is primarily utilized by analytical laboratories, research institutions, and quality control departments in the agricultural, food safety, and pharmaceutical industries to ensure product safety and compliance.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for the calibration of HPLC, LC-MS, and GC-MS systems in quantitative analysis.
• Food Safety Testing: Essential for the detection and quantification of glycoalkaloid contaminants in potato crops, processed potato products, and other solanaceous vegetables to comply with food safety regulations.
• Phytochemical Research: Used in biochemical and pharmacological studies to investigate the biological activities, toxicity profiles, and biosynthetic pathways of steroidal glycoalkaloids.
• Quality Control in Agriculture: Employed by seed breeders and agricultural companies to screen and develop potato cultivars with lower natural glycoalkaloid content.
• Method Development and Validation: Serves as a key component in developing, optimizing, and validating new analytical methods for glycoalkaloid analysis in complex matrices.
• Toxicological Studies: Applied in research to understand the mechanisms of action, safe exposure levels, and potential health impacts of these natural toxins.

Quality Control

Every batch of our α-Chaconine:α-Solaninemixture is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality management protocols. The product undergoes rigorous identity confirmation and purity assessment using advanced chromatographic (HPLC) and spectroscopic (MS, NMR) techniques to ensure it meets the high standards required for reference materials. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing batch-specific results for identity, purity, and composition. Our quality system is designed to support compliance with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025 principles for reference material producers.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C. For long-term storage, consider keeping the material at -20°C under an inert atmosphere. The container should be kept in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials.
