Tetrodotoxin is a potent, selective, and reversible use-dependent inhibitor of voltage-gated sodium channels. Its ability to block neuronal action potentials makes it a valuable tool in neuroscience research, particularly for studying neuronal excitability, pain pathways, and ion channel function. Tetrodotoxin is frequently used in electrophysiological experiments to isolate specific neural responses and investigate the role of sodium channels in neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS and epilepsy.
Classification: Severe poison. H300 Fatal if swallowed
H310 Fatal in contact with skin
H330 Fatal if inhaled

Need this compound in a format that drops straight into your assay? We can tailor formulation, chemistry, and documentation so your results stay consistent across runs and re-orders.
- Format options: solid or pre-dissolved solution (choose solvent), target concentration, aliquots, light/moisture-protected packaging
- Chemistry options: free base/acid vs salt forms, hydrate/solvate preference, stereoisomer control (single enantiomer or racemate), close analogs
- Add-on labels & handles: D/¹³C/¹⁵N isotopes (LC-MS/internal standards), azide/alkyne or other functional handles for conjugation
- QC & documentation: standard COA or enhanced analytical pack (HPLC/LC-MS/NMR), chiral purity, residual solvents, water content (KF), method-specific specs
- Scale & continuity: mg to gram scale, bulk pricing, lot reservation, repeat-order continuity
To quote quickly, tell us: compound name + CAS/structure (SMILES or mol file), intended assay context, solvent preference, salt/stereochemistry requirements, purity/QC level, and the amount (mg–g).
