Lithium stearate  (Synonyms: Stearic acid lithium; Lithium octadecanoate)

Cat. No.: HY-W099571 Purity: 97.0%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Lithium stearate (Stearic acid (lithium)) is a compound that forms vesicles in reaction with silver nitrate, thereby changing the reaction kinetics of the nucleation and self-assembly process of silver stearate. It has the activity that even in the presence of excess silver nitrate, only about 80% can be converted into silver stearate and the residual lithium stearate will inhibit the growth process of silver stearate crystals, thereby producing silver stearate crystals that are much smaller than those obtained from sodium stearate, providing an opportunity to further control the self-assembly and crystal growth of silver stearate.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
