Product Information
| Description: | N-hexanoyl-l-homoserine lactone is a short-chain N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL). AHL is an intercellular communication signal molecule in the quorum-sensing system of Gram-negative bacteria and mediates information exchange between eukaryotic plants and prokaryotic bacteria. |
| 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. |
