MTI, Melanotan1

Description

MTI, also written Melanotan I or Melanotan1, is a melanocortin-family peptide studied in pigmentation research. This listing is for a research-grade reagent intended strictly for in-vitro laboratory work — not a drug, supplement or cosmetic, and not for human or veterinary use. If you are sourcing research peptides in Canada and need documentation you can file alongside your data, this is supplied with third-party analysis attached to the specific batch you receive.

Overview

Each vial contains 10mg of MTI as a lyophilized powder, sealed for cold storage and reconstitution in a suitable research solvent chosen by the investigator. It is available as a single vial or as a box of ten, which suits work that runs across repeated assay plates or multiple timepoints and where batch consistency across the whole sequence of experiments matters. Analysis is performed by Janoshik, an independent laboratory, using HPLC to establish purity and mass spectrometry to confirm identity. The certificate of analysis is matched to the batch rather than being a generic reference document, so the figures you cite correspond to the material in your hands. Orders are stored cold prior to dispatch and ship discreetly from within Canada with nationwide tracking.

What it is known for

Buyers know this product for two things: it sits in the pigmentation and tanning research category as the first of the melanotan series, and it comes with independent verification rather than in-house assurances. Third-party HPLC and MS data from Janoshik, tied to the batch, is what separates it from unverified material — it removes the guesswork about whether the vial contains what the label says, at the stated purity, before any experimental time is spent on it.

Key features

• Lyophilized 10mg format — Freeze-dried powder is far more stable than a solution, so the reagent holds up through cold storage and transit and you control the solvent and concentration at the point of use.
• Independent third-party testing by Janoshik — Verification comes from a laboratory with no stake in the sale, which is the standard reviewers and supervisors tend to ask about when purity is questioned.
• HPLC purity analysis — Quantifies purity so you know how much of the vial mass is the target peptide, which matters when calculating working concentrations.
• Mass spectrometry identity confirmation — Confirms the molecular identity of the peptide rather than assuming it, ruling out mislabelling or a substituted analogue before it contaminates your dataset.
• Batch-matched certificate of analysis — The document corresponds to your specific lot, so it can be cited in methods sections and retained for audit or reproducibility purposes.
• Single vial or box of ten — Lets you buy one vial for a pilot or method development, then scale to a ten-pack of the same reagent for the full study.
• Cold storage and discreet Canadian dispatch — Domestic shipping with tracking avoids customs delays and long unrefrigerated transit legs that put peptide integrity at risk.

Benefits

• Purity and identity are documented by an outside lab before you begin, so anomalous results point to your experiment rather than your reagent.
• The lyophilized format gives you a long, stable shelf position and full control over reconstitution solvent and concentration.
• Buying the box of ten keeps a single batch behind a whole series of experiments, reducing lot-to-lot variability as a confounding factor.
• Shipping within Canada with tracking means shorter transit and no border hold on temperature-sensitive material.
• Documentation is ready to reference in protocols, grant reporting and internal quality records without chasing the supplier for paperwork.

Specifications

Typical applications

• In-vitro pigmentation and melanocortin pathway research
• Comparative studies across melanotan-series peptides
• Method development and assay validation where a characterized reference reagent is needed
• Cell-based studies requiring documented peptide identity and purity

Important information

• Research use only. Not a drug, supplement, food or cosmetic. Not for human or veterinary use, ingestion or administration, and not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
• Keep vials cold and sealed until use; the lyophilized powder is the stable state, so reconstitute only what the work requires.
• Choose a research solvent appropriate to your protocol and downstream assay — solvent selection is left to the investigator.
• Request the batch-matched certificate of analysis and confirm the lot number on it matches the vial you received before recording purity figures in your notes.
• Protect reconstituted material from light and repeated temperature cycling, and handle it with standard laboratory practice for research reagents.

Common questions

What exactly am I receiving?

A vial containing 10mg of MTI as a lyophilized powder, produced to a defined research specification. You can order a single vial or a box of ten vials.

Who performs the testing, and what is tested?

Janoshik, an independent analytical laboratory, tests each batch for purity by HPLC and identity by mass spectrometry. The results are issued as a certificate of analysis tied to that batch.

How do I get the certificate of analysis?

A batch-matched COA is available for the lot you receive — request it and check that the lot number on the document matches your vial.

How should I store it?

Store the sealed lyophilized vial cold. It is kept cold prior to dispatch and shipped from Canada with tracking to limit time in transit.

Can this be used on people or animals?

No. It is supplied for in-vitro laboratory research only and is not intended for human or veterinary use, ingestion or administration in any form.

Should I buy the single vial or the box of ten?

A single vial suits pilot work or method development. The box of ten is the better choice when a study runs across many plates or timepoints and you want the same batch behind every result.

In summary

MTI supplied as a lyophilized 10mg vial, with independent HPLC purity and MS identity data and a certificate of analysis matched to your batch — characterized material for in-vitro pigmentation research, shipped cold and tracked within Canada. Research use only.
