Product Overview
DL-Alanine 99% is a high-purity, racemic mixture of L-Alanine and D-Alanine, specifically formulated for biochemistry applications. This crystalline powder offers exceptional solubility in water, ensuring seamless integration into aqueous solutions for various laboratory protocols. With a minimum purity of 99%, it meets stringent quality standards for reproducible results in protein synthesis, metabolic pathway studies, and enzymatic assays. The non-polar nature of alanine makes it ideal for investigating hydrophobic interactions in biomolecules. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to confirm identity, purity, and absence of contaminants, providing researchers with a reliable reagent for critical experiments. The product is packaged in airtight containers to maintain stability and prevent moisture absorption during storage. Its neutral pH in solution minimizes interference with sensitive biochemical reactions, while the fine particle size ensures rapid dissolution without residue. This grade of DL-Alanine is particularly valued for its consistency across different lot numbers, eliminating variability in long-term research projects.
FAQs
1. What is the exact purity level of this DL-Alanine?
This product has a minimum purity of 99% as confirmed by HPLC analysis, with residual solvents and heavy metals well below detectable limits for biochemistry applications.
2. Can this DL-Alanine be used for cell culture media preparation?
While primarily designed for biochemical assays, this grade meets the purity requirements for supplementing cell culture media when used at appropriate concentrations.
3. What is the recommended storage temperature for long-term stability?
Store unopened containers at 15-25°C in a dry environment. After opening, keep tightly sealed and use within 12 months for optimal performance.
4. How does this compare to L-Alanine in biochemical reactions?
The racemic mixture provides both enantiomers, making it suitable for studying stereospecific reactions where D-alanine may play a role, unlike pure L-alanine.
5. What solvents is this DL-Alanine soluble in besides water?
It shows good solubility in methanol and ethanol, moderate solubility in acetone, and is practically insoluble in non-polar solvents like hexane.
