Product Information
Description: Methyl Aminolevulinate Hydrochloride is the methyl ester of Aminolevulinic Acid, which is a precursor of a photosensitizer and also is used as an add on agent for photodynamic therapy. It shows much higher lipophilicity and highly efficient at inducing protoporphyrin IXproduction in cell culture.
   
Stability and Solubility Advice: Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide.
We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details.
