For a single 10mg vial it's $85, at 5 vials it drops to $68 each, and if you're ordering 20 or more we're looking at roughly $52 per vial—that's where the real value kicks in for most labs doing metabolic work.
We've had researchers running glucose uptake assays and mitochondrial flux studies on this for about two years now, and the 99%+ purity holds up consistently batch to batch. What it does is it gives you relaible data without having to factor in degradation variables, which matters when you're looking at 24-month shelf life if stored at -20°C dry. Most buyers go with the 10mg format but custom quantities actually aren't a problem, just give us a heads up on lead time. The lyophilized powder reconstitutes easily in water or saline, but we usually have stock ready to ship within a week or so unless it's a really large custom order.
It's a 1790 g/mol peptide—16 amino acids—and teh sequence runs from methionine to a C-terminal arginine, so solubility is pretty much straightforward in aqueous buffers. Basically designed for metabolic and mitochondrial research, not for anything involving whole organisms or clinical use obviously.
Storage is straightforward but critical: -20°C in a dry enviornment, no freeze-thaw cycles, and the vials are sterile filtered before lyophilization. One thing researchers don't always ask about is that peptide's sensitive to humidity during reconstitution, so pull the vial to room temp and let it stabilize for a minute before adding water.
Actually, this isn't ideal for cell culture work above 48 hours unless you're using a protease inhibitor cocktail, because the methionine residues can oxidize over extended assays. But for acute metabolic studies—glucose uptake, mitochondrial respiration, AMPK signaling—it's tighter tolerance than most generic MOTS-C we've seen on the market.
Anyway, the 10mg pack is what most people start with, then scale form there once they see batch consistency across their.
We don't have a strict MOQ — you can order a single 10mg vial for testing, and custom quantities are available if you need more later.
Yes, each batch comes with a certificate of analysis that includes the HPLC trace confirming the ≥99% purity.
Just dissolve it in sterile water or saline — it's soluble in both. Use aseptic technique, and keep the reconstituted solution at -20°C.
We typically ship within 3-5 business days for in-stock items. Custom quantities might add a few extra days depending on batch scheduling.
No, it's already sterile filtered, so you can reconstitute and use it directly in your metabolic or mitochondrial studies without extra filtration steps.
