Ponasterone A

Ponasterone A is an ecdysone analog, an insect steroid hormone that controls molting and metamorphosis. It can be utilized as an inducer of ecdysone-inducible mammalian expression systems.

Small volumes of Ponasterone A biochemical vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
