L-CYSTEINE (for biochemistry) is a product provided by Research-Lab Fine Chem Industries. Laboratory reagents are chemicals which are used in laboratories as a part of experimental procedures. These reagents can be important parts of chemical reactions, analytical reagents or starting material for the production of other materials.

This L-CYSTEINE is meant for use in biochemistry and is of laboratory grade. This a is proteinogenic amino acid and is soluble in water. Industrially, L-cysteine can be obtained from the hydrolysis of animal materials, such as poultry feathers or hog hair. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. L-cysteine has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This compound finds several applications in the synthesis of various organic derivatives. L-cysteine is used as a precursor in the food, pharmaceutical and personal-care industries. It used as an additive, E920, usually as a flavouring agent. The molecule is additionally, a popular target for site-directed labelling experiments to investigate biomolecular structures and dynamics. L-cysteine is also added in the feed of sheep which require it to produce wool. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
