Product Details

Description:
Vitamin B12, presented here as a methylcobalamin solution, is the active, coenzyme form of Vitamin B12. Unlike cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin features a methyl group coordinated directly to the central cobalt atom, allowing it to actively participate as a cofactor in the methionine synthase pathway and biological methylation processes.

In a research context, this solution serves as a standard and critical compound in cell culture media to support DNA synthesis, epigenetic regulation, and cellular metabolism. It is a key tool for in vitro studies investigating cellular methylation cycles, neuronal cell models, and specialized fundamental biochemical assays in a controlled laboratory environment.

Intended Use

• This product is sold strictly for in vitro laboratory research and development purposes ONLY.
• It is NOT intended for human or veterinary use, consumption, diagnostics, therapeutic applications, or any other use outside of controlled laboratory research.
• Methylcobalamin, as supplied, is an experimental compound intended for scientific investigation into the role of active Vitamin B12 in cellular processes in controlled laboratory settings.
• This product is NOT an FDA-approved drug, dietary supplement, or cosmetic or intended for any clinical use.

Handling and Storage

• Storage: Store solution at 2°C to 8°C (standard refrigerator temperature). Protect strictly from light, as methylcobalamin is highly photosensitive and will degrade upon prolonged light exposure.
• Safety: Handle using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, a lab coat, and eye protection, within a controlled laboratory environment.

Quality Assurance

• Our Vitamin B12 solution is prepared using high-purity, pharmaceutical-grade methylcobalamin and sterile water.
• Each batch is tested for concentration, sterility, and the absence of contaminants.
