A 50 mg 5-Amino-1MQ vial reconstituted with 2 mL gives 25 mg/mL. Measuring 0.020 mL gives 500 mcg per portion — about 100 portions from the vial.

Choosing a diluent for 5-Amino-1MQ

As a small, charged quinolinium salt it is freely water-soluble and dissolves cleanly without the acidification, warming or anti-aggregation measures that lyophilized peptides sometimes need. There is no folded structure to denature and no hydrophobic core to drive aggregation.

PrimaryBacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol)
Alternative 1Sterile water (USP grade)
Alternative 2DMSO for concentrated stock solutions in cell work

Handling notes for 5-Amino-1MQ

  • Let the sealed vial reach room temperature before opening so moisture does not condense onto the powder.
  • For cell-based assays, prepare a concentrated DMSO stock and dilute into aqueous buffer rather than dissolving directly at high concentration in medium.
  • Label aliquots with reconstitution date and diluent.

After reconstitution

StorageRefrigerate at 2-8 °C. Without proteolysis- or oxidation-prone bonds, the aqueous solution is comparatively stable.
Working windowCommonly worked with for several weeks at 2-8 °C in preserved diluent.
Freeze–thawTolerant of freeze-thaw — there is no tertiary structure to lose. Aliquoting is still good practice to limit repeated exposure of the stock.
