IMPURITIES AVAILABLE FOR 'Saxitoxin'

Omsynth Lifesciences Pvt. Ltd. is one of the leading manufacturer and exporter of Saxitoxin. Saxitoxin is a potent neurotoxin produced by certain marine dinoflagellates and freshwater cyanobacteria, and is the primary agent responsible for paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP). It blocks voltage-gated sodium channels on nerve and muscle cell membranes, preventing action potential generation. This leads to rapid onset of neurological symptoms including numbness, paralysis, and in severe cases, respiratory failure. Saxitoxin accumulates in shellfish that filter-feed on toxin-producing algae, posing a risk to humans through seafood consumption. It is extremely potent, with toxicity measurable in microgram quantities. The molecule is heat-stable, meaning cooking does not destroy it. Saxitoxin serves as an important research tool for studying ion channel physiology. Monitoring programs are essential to detect contamination in marine environments. Its high toxicity makes it one of the most hazardous naturally occurring marine toxins. Buy high quality Saxitoxin from Omsynth Lifesciences.
