Product Details
L-Carnitine – Research Grade
L-Carnitine from Cleared Peptides is a research-grade compound supplied for laboratory and analytical investigation. Every lot is third-party tested, and the batch Certificate of Analysis is published before sale. Specifications, CAS number and molecular formula are listed below.
Research use only. L-Carnitine is supplied for laboratory research. It is not a drug, food, cosmetic, or dietary supplement. It is not FDA-approved. It is not for human or veterinary administration. This page does not give a dose or a method of administration. A study cited on this page describes that study’s own test article. It does not make this lot an approved medicine. To check a fact, open the PubMed or DOI link, confirm the authors and year, and match the paper’s compound name, CAS number, or sequence to the specification table. The full method is on the research desk page. Identity and purity for a lot are only what that lot’s certificate of analysis reports. An HPLC percentage is not a sterility result and not an endotoxin result unless the certificate prints those tests.

L-Carnitine in Laboratory Research
L-Carnitine (levocarnitine) is a quaternary-ammonium compound that shuttles long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria as acyl-carnitines.
It is used as a reagent in fatty-acid-oxidation, carnitine-palmitoyltransferase and acyl-carnitine analytical research.
This summary describes published laboratory research only and makes no claim about effects in humans or animals.
Purity Testing & Certificate of Analysis
Each lot of L-Carnitine is analyzed by an independent laboratory, with identity and purity (or composition, for multi-component preparations) reported on a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis. View current results on our COA page.
Storage & Laboratory Handling
Store at room temperature, tightly sealed, protected from moisture. Minimize freeze–thaw cycles and handle according to your institution’s chemical-hygiene procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
