We are pleased to offer a market leading and extensive range of isotopically labelled Carntines.

Carnitine plays a critical role in the metabolism in most mammals, plants and some bacteria, and is involved in energy production transporting long chain fatty acids into cell mitochondria so they can be oxidised to produce energy. It also aids the transport of toxic compounds from the cell preventing their accumulation. For those that have medical or genetic disorders and cannot produce enough, Carnitine can be an essential nutrient and is often taken as a dietary supplement.

Its determination can be of vital importance and the function of Carntines in various tissues attracts much interest. The advance of techniques such as LC-MS and LC-MS/MS have enabled the monitoring and detection of treatable disorders before symptoms appear. The measurement of different carnitines can be used to detect many different inborn errors of metabolism in newborn screening.
