Description

L-Lysine Acetate is the acetate salt form of the essential amino acid L-Lysine, a critical building block for protein synthesis. This high-purity grade is essential for applications demanding precise nutritional fortification and consistent biochemical performance. It is a vital ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and animal feed industries seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials for their formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and parenteral nutrition solutions.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key component in amino acid supplements, protein powders, and clinical nutrition products for human consumption.
• Animal Feed Additive: Employed as a vital lysine source in premixes and complete feeds for poultry, swine, and aquaculture to optimize growth and feed efficiency.
• Cell Culture Media: Serves as an essential nutrient in defined media for biopharmaceutical production and biomedical research.
• Food Fortification: Used to enhance the protein quality and nutritional value of cereal-based foods and beverages.
• Biochemical Research: A standard reagent in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway analysis, and microbiological assays.

Quality Control

Our L-Lysine Acetate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. It is tested to meet relevant specifications for high-purity applications, including those guided by USP and FCC standards. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and impurity profiles to ensure traceability and compliance for our global B2B customers.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
