FAQ

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin found in several pufferfish species and some other marine organisms. It has a chemical formula of C<sub>11</sub>H<sub>17</sub>NO<sub>7</sub>. TTX is characterized by its ability to block sodium channels, leading to paralysis and potentially death if ingested in large quantities.
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is primarily used in research to study sodium channels and their role in nerve function. It is also used in some experimental applications as a selective neurotoxin. However, due to its high toxicity, its use in pharmaceuticals is limited.
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is extremely dangerous and not safe for human consumption or use unless under strict laboratory conditions. It is highly toxic and can cause paralysis and death. Proper protective measures and strict safety protocols must be followed when handling TTX.
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) should be stored in airtight containers at a temperature of 2-8°C (refrigerated) to prevent degradation. It should be kept away from light and moisture. Strict handling and storage procedures must be followed due to its high toxicity.
