DL-lysine hydrochloride

DL-Lysine hydrochloride (CAS 70-53-1) is the racemic salt form of lysine; a stable, water-soluble solid.

Where is DL-lysine hydrochloride used?

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing: buffering and stabilizing agent in injectable formulations, lyophilized drug products, and API salt formation
• Cosmetics: pH regulator and moisture-retention aid in creams, serums, and hair conditioning systems
• Food: processing aid and pH modifier in specialty food systems
• Research and analytical laboratories: reference standard and reagent-grade amino acid salt for biochemical assay development
• The DL-racemate serves formulation and research contexts where optical purity is not required.

Good to know: Unlike the L-form used in nutritional supplementation, the DL-racemate is not intended for that purpose.

Commercial specifications

• Packaging from kilogram-scale laboratory quantities to bulk industrial bags
