Description
L-Carnitine is a well-known zwitterionic biochemical with CAS number 541-15-1 and empirical formula C₇H₁₅NO₃. Its molar mass is 161,2 g/mol, supporting precise preparation of solutions, standards, and experimental media in life-science laboratories. The molecule is widely associated with fatty-acid transport and energy-metabolism investigations, making it relevant across biochemistry, nutrition science, and related applied research. Identity data including CAS and formula simplify inventory control, protocol writing, and cross-site reproducibility. Offered from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the material fits professional laboratory workflows that demand transparent specification of core chemical parameters. Users can incorporate L-carnitine into buffer systems, cell-culture supplements where appropriate to local procedures, calibration mixes, and comparative assays. Clear molecular descriptors help align purchasing, quality documentation, and experimental design without ambiguity regarding the chemical form supplied.

Questions about L-Carnitine, 500 g
What is this article?
L-Carnitine, 500 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Click chemistry, bioconjugation & synthesis reagents, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
Click and bioconjugation reagents join two molecules under mild conditions, often an azide to an alkyne, or an NHS ester to an amine. The linker length and the reactive group are the specification. They are small bottles of a reactive compound, and moisture often ruins them.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
