B12 (Methylcobalamin) is available from Kimerachems for controlled laboratory and analytical research. Review the product-specific information, available formats and documentation below before ordering.
Methylcobalamin
Identity Methylcobalamin is one of two coenzyme forms of cobalamin (vitamin B₁₂), distinguished by a methyl group bound to the cobalt center of the corrin ring. It functions as the cofactor for methionine synthase, transferring a methyl group from 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine.

- Analytical reference standard for B₁₂ quantitation by HPLC or LC-MS
Handling Methylcobalamin’s photolability is the single most important handling property — it is not a generic “store in the dark” instruction. Solutions degrade measurably under ambient light. Use amber vials, minimize exposure, and prepare fresh where possible. Analytical Identity and purity by HPLC-UV against a CAS 13422-55-4 reference standard, with lot-specific certificate of analysis. Research use only. Supplied as a research reference material for in-vitro and analytical laboratory use. Not a drug, food, cosmetic, or dietary supplement. Not for use in humans or animals.
