MOTS-C
Mitochondria-derived peptide, freeze-dried. For lab research only.
Molecular reference
Research background
MOTS-c is a small peptide that comes from your mitochondria, the tiny “power plants” inside your cells. Researchers study it to understand how cells manage energy and metabolism. It comes as a freeze-dried powder in a 10 mg vial.
Order MOTS-C in Canada with the paperwork to back it. One 10 mg vial, ≥98% purity, molecular weight 2174.5 g/mol. Tested by an independent lab for purity and content (HPLC), and the lab report (COA) for your batch is available on request. Tracked, insured delivery from Vancouver, BC — by Canada Post Xpresspost, usually 1 to 4 business days, with no customs step and no brokerage fee.
Sold as a laboratory research material only, for in vitro use. It isn’t a medicine and isn’t meant for people or animals.
Summarizes published preclinical literature. Provided for research reference only; not a claim of efficacy or a description of human use.
Reconstitution
- Supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder for laboratory reconstitution.
- Bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) is the most common reconstitution solvent for multi-use research handling; sterile or acetic-acid solutions are used for specific compounds.
- Introduce solvent slowly against the vial wall rather than directly onto the powder, and allow it to dissolve without vigorous shaking.
- Use the reconstitution calculator to determine solvent volume for a target concentration in your protocol.
Storage & handling
- Lyophilized powder: store sealed at -20 °C for long-term stability; short periods at 2–8 °C are generally acceptable.
- Once reconstituted: refrigerate at 2–8 °C and protect from light; use within the compound-specific window noted on the COA.
- Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles of reconstituted solution.
- Keep away from direct light and heat at all times.
Purity & verification
Third-party tested for HPLC purity and content (≥98% purity), with the Certificate of Analysis for your batch available on request.
