We've been trying to get a handle on batch-to-batch consistency with the last few sources, and the purity verification on this one—HPLC verified at ≥99%—should cut down on that variability. CAS 121062-08-6 matches standdard for melanogenesis work.
Storage at -20°C is kind of a pain, but it's mandatory for keeping the white powder from degrading, which becomes noticeable after about 20 days at room temp. It's got the expected molecular weight (1024.18) and is soluble in water, so reconstitution is straightforward.
Also worth noting, it's definately not for any in vivo cosmetic use—strictly for lab melanogenesis studies and related pigmentation assays. The ethical stuff around body modification isn't really our call, but we usually have stock, so reorders are typically 2-3 weeks out.
For anyone running, the 1mg or 2mg aliquot sizes are easier to handle than the full 10mg vial (usually 2-4 weeks lead time on those). Most buyers go with the 5mg format for single experiments.
And honestly, we got a lot of requests for a more consistent suppiler after folks kept getting matrial that was only 95-97% pure form other places. This batch went through HPLC with tighter tolerance than what we'd seen before.
Our MOQ is typically 10 grams, but we can discuss smaller amounts for specific research projects. Reach out to us directly to confirm.
We usually ship within 3-5 business days after order confirmation. For larger orders, it might take up to 7 days depending on stock.
Yes, we include the HPLC certificate of analysis with every batch. Just request it when you place your order, and we'll send it along.
It is soluble in water, yes, but we recommend sterile water or saline for best results. Test a small amount first to ensure it dissolves completely.
Store it at -20°C in a sealed, light-protected container. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles, and it will stay stable for up to 12 months under those conditions.
