Poly-L-lysine(CAS: 25104-18-1)

Poly-L-lysine is a water-soluble, linear polymer composed of repeated L-lysine monomers. It has a molecular weight ranging from 10,000 to 500,000 Da and is known for its high positive charge density, making it useful in various applications. Its chemical formula is (C6H14N2O2)n, and it exhibits good biocompatibility and film-forming properties.

Poly-L-lysine is widely used in pharmaceuticals for drug delivery and as a coating agent. It finds applications in the food industry for stabilizing emulsions and in research for cell culture and biosensor development. Additionally, it is used in industrial settings for adhesion and as a component in biodegradable materials.

Poly-L-lysine is generally considered safe when handled properly. It has low toxicity and is biocompatible, making it suitable for biomedical applications. However, as with any chemical, it should be handled with care, and appropriate protective measures such as gloves and ventilation should be taken to ensure safety.

Poly-L-lysine should be stored in a cool, dry place away from light. It is typically kept in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption. Storage conditions should maintain a temperature below 25°C and humidity levels below 60% to ensure stability and prolong shelf life.
