What is L-Carnitine?
It is a naturally occurring compound made in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine. Its best-known biological role is carrying long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they can be broken down for energy. Only the L-form is biologically active.
Levocarnitine is approved as a prescription medicine for carnitine deficiency, but this product is not a medicine. It is supplied as a research material only and is not intended for human or veterinary use.
Background reading: Carnitine on Wikipedia.
Working with a pre-made solution
Because this product is supplied ready in solution, there is no reconstitution step. Check the concentration printed on the label before calculating amounts, and record the volume withdrawn each time so that the remaining contents can be tracked.
A sealed vial is designed for withdrawals with clean laboratory equipment. Keep the stopper clean, avoid introducing contaminants, and dispose of material according to your laboratory procedures if the solution changes in appearance.
The compound is also used as a reference material in analytical and nutrition research, where it serves as a standard for methods that measure carnitine and its esters in biological samples.
Storage and handling
Keep the bottle tightly capped and upright in a cool place away from heat and direct light. Use a clean dropper or pipette for each withdrawal to avoid contaminating the solution, and keep the product in its original labelled bottle.
Checking the label
The label on this product states the compound name, the amount () and that it is for research use only. When your order arrives, check that the label matches what you ordered, and record the product name, amount and date received in your notes before use. If anything does not match, contact us before opening the product.
