High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis in food and environmental samples.

Overview

Homovanillic acid (HVA) is a major catecholamine metabolite produced by the consecutive action of monoamine oxidase and catechol-O-methyltransferase on dopamine. It is commonly used as a reagent to detect oxidative enzymes and is associated with dopamine levels in the brain.

Uses

HVA is used in psychiatry and neuroscience to measure brain and cerebrospinal fluid levels as a marker of metabolic stress. It is also used in the diagnosis of neuroblastoma and malignant pheochromocytoma.

Regulatory

Regulatory bodies require accurate measurement of HVA levels in various samples to ensure compliance with health and safety standards. Our reference materials are tested according to international quality requirements and meet the highest industrial standards.

Monitoring

Monitoring HVA levels is crucial for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis. Accurate measurement ensures compliance with regulatory limits and supports various diagnostic and research applications.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Fasting plasma levels of HVA are known to be higher in females than in males. This pattern is retained across different age groups and hormonal statuses. Differences in HVA levels have also been correlated with tobacco usage.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

The presence of HVA in the environment can affect wildlife, particularly species sensitive to changes in catecholamine levels. Monitoring and controlling HVA levels in environmental samples are essential to mitigate potential impacts.

Safety Measures

Proper handling and storage of HVA reference materials are crucial to ensure their stability and accuracy. Follow all safety guidelines and use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling these materials.

Regulation

Our reference materials for HVA are compliant with international regulatory standards, ensuring they meet the highest quality and accuracy requirements for residue analysis.
