Product Description
Fmoc-Lys(Ac)-OH is a protected lysine derivative widely used in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). The Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) group ensures efficient coupling and deprotection, while the acetyl modification on the lysine side chain prevents unwanted side reactions. This high-purity reagent from Merck is essential for researchers and pharmaceutical labs working on peptide-based therapeutics, protein studies, or custom peptide synthesis.
Whether you’re a student setting up your first peptide synthesis project or a seasoned researcher scaling up production, this 1 kg pack offers excellent value. The powder form ensures easy handling and precise weighing, making it suitable for both manual and automated synthesis systems.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of reliable reagents in your research. That’s why we source directly from trusted manufacturers like Merck to ensure consistency and purity in every batch. Need bulk quantities or custom packaging? Reach out to our team for tailored solutions.
