Description

Pectenotoxin 1 is a potent marine biotoxin belonging to the polyether macrolide class, isolated from certain dinoflagellates. This high-purity reference standard is critical for ensuring food safety and advancing toxicological research. It is primarily utilized by analytical laboratories, regulatory bodies, and research institutions involved in marine toxin monitoring, method development, and pharmacological studies.

Application

• Marine Biotoxin Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for the accurate quantification of Pectenotoxins in shellfish and seawater samples.
• Food Safety Testing: Essential for calibrating analytical instrumentation (e.g., LC-MS/MS) to comply with global regulatory limits for shellfish contamination.
• Toxicological Research: Used in studies to investigate the mechanism of action, cytotoxicity, and potential health effects of marine toxins.
• Method Development & Validation: Serves as a key component in developing and validating new analytical methods for lipophilic toxin detection.
• Quality Control & Assurance: Employed by diagnostic kit manufacturers and testing laboratories for internal QC and proficiency testing.
• Pharmacological Studies: Investigated for its bioactivity and potential interactions with cellular targets in biomedical research.

Quality Control

Every batch of Pectenotoxin 1 is characterized and quantified using advanced analytical techniques to ensure identity, purity, and stability. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific results from NMR, HPLC, and MS are available upon request to support your regulatory and research requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation. The product is light-sensitive (store away from light).
