Salinomycin
Salinomycin (CAS: 53003-10-4, C42H70O11) is a potent polyether ionophore antibiotic produced by Streptomyces albus. Primarily recognised for its antibacterial properties, it functions by interfering with cell membrane permeability, particularly by transporting monovalent cations. This ionophore is valuable in research for developing analytical methods, screening cell populations, and studying cellular processes. It is supplied by Tech Serve Solutions with a minimum purity of 98%.

Analytical Standard
Salinomycin serves as a crucial standard in the development and validation of analytical techniques, such as LC-MS/MS, for the detection of residual coccidiostats in food products like eggs and muscle tissue.
Cell Biology Research
Utilised in research settings to identify and study specific cell subpopulations, such as the CD44+CD24- mesenchymal-like subpopulation found within breast carcinomas, aiding in cancer research.
Ionophore Studies
As a well-characterised ionophore, Salinomycin is employed to investigate mechanisms related to ion transport across cell membranes and its impact on cellular function and signaling.
