About D-Carnitine

Vaqora Chemicals supplies D-Carnitine, a high-purity reference standard of Levocarnitine registered under CAS number 541-14-0. Its molecular formula is C7H15NO3 and its molecular weight is 161.2 g/mol. The IUPAC name is (3S)-3-hydroxy-4-(trimethylazaniumyl)butanoate. Common synonyms include (+)-Carnitine and (S)-carnitine.

It is supplied as a solid. Reference materials should be stored sealed and away from light and moisture, as specified on the accompanying COA. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

As a reference sample of Levocarnitine, it is used for identification, assay and impurity-profiling work during analytical method development, validation (AMV) and routine QC. Buyers come mainly from pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Standard pack sizes are 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
