MOTS-C Reconstitution Calculator

For in vitro research use only · Not medical advice

Preset to a 10 mg MOTS-C vial in 2 mL of diluent. A 10 mg vial in 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL. Reconstitute under reduced light and aliquot immediately.

A 10 mg MOTS-C vial reconstituted with 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL. Measuring 2.000 mL gives 10,000 mcg per portion — about 1 portions from the vial.

Choosing a diluent for MOTS-C

Water-soluble, with a net positive charge from three basic residues. The sequence contains both methionine and tryptophan, which makes it one of the more chemically reactive peptides in this catalogue despite its modest length.

PrimarySterile or bacteriostatic water
Alternative 1Phosphate-buffered saline
Alternative 2Dilute acetic acid for difficult lots

Handling notes for MOTS-C

  • Use amber vials or wrap in foil; treat light protection as mandatory rather than precautionary.
  • Minimise vial openings — headspace oxygen is the practical driver of oxidation.
  • Use low-bind labware for dilute working solutions.

After reconstitution

StorageRefrigerate at 2–8 °C with light protection. Both oxidation-prone residue types are present, so the two main degradation pathways operate simultaneously.
Working windowCommonly worked with for 2–3 weeks at 2–8 °C.
Freeze–thawAliquot on reconstitution. Each vial opening introduces oxygen that acts on two susceptible residue types at once.
