What Is EL-102?

EL-102 (Aladdin SKU: E656591; cross-reference MCE HY-16187) is a small-molecule compound supplied as a research reagent for use in in vitro and in vivo laboratory studies. Small-molecule inhibitors in this class are typically used to probe specific protein targets or signaling cascades in biochemical and cell-based assays. Researchers should consult the current product datasheet for the precise molecular weight, molecular formula, purity specification, and mechanism of action, as these details are subject to lot-to-lot verification.

Note: EL-102 is strictly for research use only (RUO) and is not approved for diagnostic, therapeutic, or veterinary use.

Storage, Handling & Solubility

Proper storage and handling are essential to maintain the activity and integrity of EL-102. General best practices for small-molecule research reagents include:

• Storage temperature: Store at −20 °C (short-term) or −80 °C (long-term) under desiccating conditions unless the datasheet specifies otherwise.
• Reconstitution: Many small-molecule inhibitors are soluble in DMSO. Prepare stock solutions according to the product datasheet and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles by aliquoting.
• Working solutions: Dilute stock solutions in the appropriate aqueous buffer immediately before use to minimize DMSO concentration in assays (typically ≤0.1% v/v).
• Stability: Once reconstituted, follow the datasheet guidance on stability windows and re-freezing protocols.

Always handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use.

Purity, Quality & Lot Release

Aladdin Scientific applies quality control procedures to research reagents prior to release. For small-molecule compounds such as EL-102, typical quality attributes assessed include:

• Chemical purity: Determined by HPLC or comparable analytical methods; the specification is stated on the product datasheet and Certificate of Analysis (CoA).
• Identity confirmation: Verified by techniques such as NMR or mass spectrometry to confirm the correct structure.
• Appearance: Visual and physical characterization (e.g., solid, color) as described in the CoA.

Customers may request a CoA for their specific lot number by contacting Aladdin Scientific customer service. Always cross-check the received lot's CoA against the published specification before use in critical experiments.
