These are collections of diverse venoms from a broad spectrum of
families and species, for the discovery of new and more selective agents for
neurosciences, biophysics, pharmacology and pesticide research. |

Venoms
and toxins taken from the same species can vary according the population
or geographic area of origin. Thus Spider Pharm collects, breeds, milks
and sells venoms according to collecting local. These are loosely called
'populations'.
It is difficult or impossible to get locality data for imported spiders or
captive-bred from other sources. These are assumed to come from numerous
localities and some variation is expected. |

venoms are generally preferred for bioassays and toxin purification while
dissected venom glands are typically used for the extraction of mRNA or DNA
and other purposes.
