Description

Pectenotoxin 2 is a potent marine biotoxin belonging to the polyether macrolide class, identified by CAS number 97564-91-5. This compound is of critical importance for research and development in marine toxicology and food safety, serving as a key reference standard for the detection and quantification of shellfish poisoning toxins. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, regulatory agencies, and pharmaceutical research institutions focused on seafood safety monitoring and the study of toxin mechanisms.

Application

• Reference Standard for Shellfish Toxin Analysis: Primary use as a certified calibration standard in Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and other analytical methods for monitoring Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP) toxins.
• Marine Biotoxin Research: Essential for academic and industrial research investigating the biosynthesis, toxicology, and environmental impact of pectenotoxins and related polyether toxins.
• Food Safety and Regulatory Compliance: Used by national food safety authorities and testing laboratories to develop and validate methods for ensuring compliance with maximum permitted levels of marine biotoxins in shellfish.
• Pharmaceutical Probe Development: Investigated for its biological activity and potential as a molecular probe in cell biology studies due to its specific interaction with cellular components.
• Quality Control for Seafood Industry: Employed by shellfish harvesters and processors in their internal quality control programs to screen for toxin contamination.
• Method Development and Validation: Critical for laboratories developing new, rapid, or more sensitive detection techniques for marine algal toxins.
