January 15, 2016 - Hello Bio announced today the launch of low cost tetrodotoxin (TTX) – a sodium channel blocker used by scientists carrying out electrophysiology techniques to investigate epilepsy, anxiety, Alzheimer's Disease and many more neurological conditions. Tetrodotoxin citrate (the water soluble form of tetrodotoxin) is a sodium channel blocker isolated form the Puffer fish. Neuroscientists and electrophysiologists use TTX as a tool to help reduce neuronal or muscular electrical activity.Hello Bio has launched this essential research tool at up to half the price of other suppliers.
Tetrodotoxin and tetrodotoxin citrate join a range of affordable and high quality ion channel modulators which also includes Conotoxin GVIA, Conotoxin MVIIC, ZD 7288 and D-AP5.
"Tetrodotoxin and its water soluble salt, tetrodotoxin citrate have traditionally been available to researchers at a high price, or with high delivery charges. In keeping with our price pledge, we are pleased that we can bring a high quality source of this standard tool to researchers in Europe and the USA at much more affordable prices - helping researchers' budgets to go further." Steve Roome PhD, Managing Director and Founder, Hello Bio
