Overview of EL-102

EL-102 (SKU E656591) is a research reagent available from Aladdin Scientific, catalogued under the cross-reference identifier MCE HY-16187. As with all Aladdin Scientific research compounds, EL-102 is intended strictly for laboratory research purposes and is not approved for human or veterinary therapeutic use.

Researchers should consult the official product datasheet and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to use. Detailed physicochemical properties, purity specifications, and biological activity data should be verified against the most current lot-specific certificate of analysis (CoA) available on the Aladdin Scientific website.

Storage and Stability Recommendations

Proper storage of EL-102 is essential to maintain reagent integrity and ensure reproducible experimental results. General best-practice storage guidelines for small-molecule research reagents include:

• Temperature: Store according to the conditions specified on the product label and CoA. Many small molecules require storage at −20 °C or −80 °C under desiccating conditions.
• Light sensitivity: Protect from direct light exposure unless otherwise stated. Use amber vials or foil wrapping where applicable.
• Moisture: Keep the reagent dry; avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which can degrade compound stability.
• Container integrity: Always reseal containers tightly immediately after use to prevent moisture ingress and solvent evaporation.

Note: Specific storage conditions for EL-102 must be confirmed from the product datasheet or CoA. The above are general guidelines only.

Preparation and Reconstitution Protocol

Before preparing stock solutions of EL-102, researchers should determine the compound's solubility profile from the product datasheet. The following general protocol applies to most small-molecule reagents supplied as dry powder:

1. Equilibration: Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 10–15 minutes before opening, particularly if retrieved from cold storage, to prevent condensation.
2. Solvent selection: Select an appropriate vehicle solvent (e.g., DMSO, ethanol, or aqueous buffer) as recommended in the datasheet. DMSO is commonly used for hydrophobic small molecules.
3. Stock solution preparation: Calculate the required volume of solvent to achieve the desired stock concentration (e.g., 10 mM). Add solvent directly to the vial and vortex or sonicate briefly until fully dissolved.
4. Aliquoting: Prepare single-use aliquots to minimize freeze-thaw cycles and reduce degradation risk.
5. Working dilutions: Dilute stock solutions into aqueous media immediately before use. Ensure final DMSO concentration does not exceed the tolerance of your biological system (typically ≤0.1% v/v for cell-based assays).

Specific solubility data and recommended solvents for EL-102 must be confirmed from the official product documentation.

Safety and Regulatory Considerations

All laboratory personnel handling EL-102 must adhere to standard chemical safety practices and institutional biosafety regulations:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves, laboratory coat, and safety glasses at all times during handling.
• Ventilation: Handle volatile solvents and reagent solutions in a certified chemical fume hood.
• SDS compliance: Read and follow the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for EL-102 before use. The SDS is available for download on the Aladdin Scientific product page for SKU E656591.
• Waste disposal: Dispose of EL-102 and its solutions in accordance with local, institutional, and national hazardous waste regulations.
• Research use only: EL-102 is strictly for in vitro research use. It is not intended for use in humans or animals.

Quality Assurance and Documentation

To maintain data integrity and experimental reproducibility, researchers should observe the following documentation practices when using EL-102 (E656591):

• Lot traceability: Record the lot number from the product label in all experimental notebooks and publications. Lot-specific CoAs can be requested from Aladdin Scientific customer service.
• Expiry and re-testing: Note the expiry date on the label. If re-testing is required after extended storage, contact Aladdin Scientific for guidance.
• Purity verification: Confirm purity grade and analytical data (e.g., HPLC, NMR) from the CoA prior to critical experiments.
• Ordering and replenishment: To ensure continuity, reorder EL-102 via SKU E656591 on the Aladdin Scientific platform. Contact the procurement team for bulk-quantity pricing inquiries.

Frequently asked questions

What is EL-102 and what is its catalogue number at Aladdin Scientific?

EL-102 is a research-grade small-molecule reagent available from Aladdin Scientific under SKU E656591, cross-referenced as MCE HY-16187. It is intended for in vitro laboratory research use only.

How should EL-102 be stored to maintain its stability?
