EPSILON-POLYLYSINE(CAS: 28211-04-3)

EPSILON-POLYLYSINE is a linear polypeptide derivative of L-lysine. It has a high positive charge density due to its lysine residues, making it useful as a chelating agent and in stabilizing proteins. The chemical formula is (C6H13N3O2)n. It is water-soluble and has good biocompatibility and biodegradability.

EPSILON-POLYLYSINE is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry as a stabilizer for protein formulations. It also finds applications in food preservation, as a carrier for food additives, and in research for its ability to bind metal ions and stabilize proteins. Additionally, it is used in the cosmetic industry for its moisturizing and skin conditioning properties.

EPSILON-POLYLYSINE is considered safe for use in food and pharmaceuticals. It is non-toxic and biocompatible. Handling should be done with gloves and safety glasses to prevent eye contact and inhalation. It is important to store in a sealed container and avoid exposure to high temperatures and direct sunlight to maintain its stability.

EPSILON-POLYLYSINE should be stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature (15-25°C) and kept away from direct sunlight and moisture. It should be protected from freezing to prevent degradation. The container should be kept in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and strong light to ensure stability and prevent loss of activity.
