Buy L-Carnitine Wholesale — 10-Vial Kit Pricing, COA & Low Minimums

2026-06-13 · 6 min read

L-Carnitine is stocked in ten-vial kits with per-vial wholesale pricing, a third-party certificate of analysis on every lot, and a one-kit minimum. This guide covers what the compound is, what a kit actually costs at each volume tier, and how documentation is handled.

What L-Carnitine is

L-carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound that shuttles long-chain fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane for beta-oxidation, making it a core reagent in fat-metabolism research.

Research-grade L-carnitine supplied in solution vials with third-party identity and purity documentation.

Wholesale kit pricing for L-Carnitine

A 200 mg vial lists at $28.00, so a sealed 10-vial kit lands at $280.00. At the ten-kit tier the same vial drops to $22.40 and 100 vials cost $2240.00.

Volume tiers apply per SKU and stack across the catalog: 1 kit at list, 2 kits at 5% off, 3 kits at 7% off, 5 kits at 12% off, and 10 kits at 20% off. Because our minimum is a single ten-vial kit rather than a pallet, a lab can validate one lot before committing capital to a larger position.

Available fills: 200 mg. Mixed-size orders are fine — the discount tier is calculated on total kits, not on a single dose.

Documentation and testing

Each L-Carnitine lot ships with purity by HPLC and identity by mass spectrometry from a third-party laboratory. The COA carries the lot number printed on the vial, so a receiving lab can reconcile paperwork to physical stock without contacting us.

If you need the COA before you buy, request it against the lot currently in stock and we will send the exact document that will accompany the shipment.

Handling and storage

2-8°C, protected from light.

Kits ship in insulated packaging. Domestic orders received by 2PM PT dispatch the same business day, and freight is free above $2,500.

Who buys L-Carnitine by the kit

fatty-acid oxidation — Carnitine shuttle studies in mitochondrial preparations; exercise metabolism — Substrate-utilisation endpoints in muscle models; mitochondrial assays — Used with acyl-CoA and CPT-1 activity measurements

Buyers fall into three groups: university and contract laboratories running assay work, formulation groups building reference libraries, and research brands that need consistent US-made supply behind their own label.
