H-Ile-Ala-OH (Ile-Ala; L-Isoleucyl-L-alanine) is a linear aliphatic dipeptide and self-reactive cyclization reagent that self-assembles into amorphous films or spherical structures from specific solvents. H-Ile-Ala-OH also serves as a precursor for the synthesis of the cyclic peptide cyclo (L-isoleucyl-L-alanine). H-Ile-Ala-OH undergoes solid-state cyclization when heated above 206 °C, and its initiation temperature is closely related to the size of side-chain substituents.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
