L-Lysine Acetate

• Appearance: White crystalline powder

• Assay (Dry Basis): 98.5% - 101.0%

• Specific Rotation: +8.4° to +9.9°

• Loss on Drying: ≤ 0.2%

• Chloride (Cl): ≤ 0.05% (Low Chloride)

• Heavy Metals: ≤ 10 ppm

Preferred over Lysine HCL in specific formulations:

• Clinical Nutrition (IV Fluids): Used in amino acid infusions where maintaining electrolyte balance (avoiding hyperchloremic acidosis) is critical.

• Renal & Infant Formulas: Ideal for low-electrolyte diets due to the absence of chloride ions.

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a stable, soluble form of lysine for drug synthesis.
