Biological Activity
D-Carnitine (0.5 μM) can inhibit the uptake of L-carnitine by renal brush marginal membrane vesicles in rats[1].
D-Carnitine (0.5, 1 μM) inhibits the uptake of L-carnitine by primary human limbal (HCLE) and conjunctival epithelium (HCjE) cells[2].

* In solvent : -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture)
Solvent & Solubility
H2O : 175 mg/mL (1085.61 mM; Need ultrasonic)
Ethanol : ≥ 10 mg/mL (62.03 mM)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.
