Someone running pigmentation studies will reconstitute this with bacteriostatic water and dose it for melanocortin receptor activation—basically triggering melanin production without UV exposure, which is teh whole point for photoprotection research.
We've had batches consistently come back at 99% purity or better per HPLC, though your own COA verification is always smart since storage conditions can shift things over time (keep it at 2-8°C, dry, or you'll lose potency faster than expected).
Sizes run form 5mg to 50mg in sterile glass vials, and most buyers go with the 10mg vial for single studies unless they're scaling up—just account for some loss during reconstitution, because lyophilized powder is fragile.
Also, it's not great for anything long-term metabolic work without careful buffer testing; solubility is fine in water, but bacteriostatic water holds up better over 20 days or so in fridge.
Molecular weight sits at 1024.18 g/mol, and the CAS is 121062-08-6—rough numbers, but important if you're calculating molar dosing for receptor-binding assays rather than just going by mass.
We don’t have a strict MOQ for this product. You can order as little as one vial if you're just testing or working on a small-scale study.
For in-stock items, we usually ship within 1-2 business days. International orders can take 7-14 days depending on customs and your location.
Yes, we include a COA with every batch. Just request it when you place your order, and we’ll send the HPLC analysis report showing ≥99% purity.
We offer standard sizes from 5mg to 50mg per vial. If you need a different fill or bulk packaging, let us know your requirements and we’ll see what we can do.
Keep it refrigerated at 2-8°C in a dry, dark place. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store it in the fridge and use within a few weeks for best results.
