DL-Lysine monohydrochloride acts as an intermediate in the preparation of 3-amino-azepan-2-one. It also serves as an essential amino acid. It is used as animal feed. In addition to this, it is used in the construction of polylysine polymers, which finds application in lysine-based polypeptide gels and films.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
