Product & Venom
VenomX supplies venom from Androctonus crassicauda, collected and characterized under controlled conditions for laboratory and research use.
Species
All venom is sourced from Androctonus crassicauda, a scorpion species native to Türkiye and identified by a recognized scorpion taxonomist. We work exclusively with this species; we do not blend or substitute other Androctonus or scorpion species.
Collection
Venom is collected from individual specimens by electrostimulation under cold-chain conditions, then stored at −80°C to preserve protein integrity from milking through to analysis and shipment.
Form supplied
Venom is supplied lyophilized (freeze-dried) to specification via a partner laboratory. Frozen liquid venom is available on request for partners with the appropriate handling and storage capability.

- Optional form
- Frozen liquid venom on request (requires appropriate cold-chain handling and storage)
- Collection
- Individual electrostimulation milking under cold-chain conditions
- Interim storage
- Held at −80°C from milking through analysis and until release for shipment
- Characterization
- Protein-level analysis by independent laboratories (HPLC fraction profiling at 280 nm, SDS-PAGE, UV-Vis, protein quantification), including OECD-GLP-accredited work where applicable
- Batch identity
- Lot / batch identification with documented provenance and chain of custody
- Quantity & packaging
- Supplied to agreed specification — enquire for available quantities and vial presentation
- Shipping
- Cold-chain or form-appropriate packaging arranged per order; destination import compliance remains the buyer's responsibility

02
What you receive
Each supply is paired with documentation so partners can file material for internal QA, grant reporting, and import records. Scope of paperwork can be confirmed when you enquire.
Characterization summary / CoA-style pack
Lot-linked summary of protein-level characterization for the material supplied, aligned with the methods used for that batch (HPLC, SDS-PAGE, UV-Vis, and protein quantification as applicable).
Chain-of-custody statement
Documented path from milking through storage, characterization, and release, so received material can be traced back to VenomX collection and handling.
Species identification note
Confirmation that venom is sourced from Androctonus crassicauda identified by a recognized scorpion taxonomist (Prof. Dr. Ersen Aydın Yağmur).
Method list
Clear statement of analytical methods applied to the batch, consistent with VenomX's independent-laboratory characterization programme.
Handling & research-use notice
Research-and-laboratory-use only disclaimer and high-level handling context for institutional biosafety and receiving teams.
Commercial shipping documents
Invoice and packing documentation suitable for institutional procurement and customs clearance (buyer handles local permits and duties).
Full laboratory reports and additional technical detail from independent characterization partners are available to research partners on request.
