FAQs
What is the difference between S-Alanine and racemic alanine?
S-Alanine refers specifically to the (S)-(+)-enantiomer, while racemic alanine contains equal parts of both (S) and (R) forms. The S-form is biologically active and used in most research applications.
Can I use this for cell culture experiments?
While primarily labeled for synthesis, many researchers use this grade for cell culture after proper sterilization. For dedicated cell culture work, consider our tissue culture-grade alanine.
What’s the shelf life of this product?
When stored properly in its original container, this S-Alanine chemical maintains stability for at least 2 years from the date of manufacture.
Do you provide bulk quantities of S-Alanine?
Yes, eqipped offers larger pack sizes for research institutions. Contact our customer support for bulk pricing and availability.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a fume hood when handling powders. Review the SDS before use.
