Botulinum Toxin 100IU is a potent neurotoxin extensively studied in neuroscience and biochemistry research. This 100IU vial contains purified botulinum toxin protein (CAS 93384-43-1, MW 150,000 g/mol) formulated as lyophilised powder at >95% purity.
Botulinum toxin works by cleaving SNARE proteins at the neuromuscular junction, specifically blocking acetylcholine release from presynaptic terminals. This mechanism makes it invaluable for research into synaptic transmission, muscle physiology, and neuromuscular function.
Key research applications include: studying neuromuscular junction dynamics, characterising acetylcholine release mechanisms, muscle contraction inhibition models, and understanding SNARE protein biology. The 100IU dose is suitable for in vitro studies, cell culture applications, and tissue preparation protocols. Store powder at -20°C for up to 3 years, or at 4°C for 2 years.
Once reconstituted in sterile water or saline, use within 1-4 weeks depending on storage temperature.
Caution: Botulinum toxin is extremely potent and must be handled with appropriate biosafety protocols.
