Laboratory handling · Dermal research peptide

Usage & handling guide

Light- and oxidation-sensitive. Reconstitute under reduced light and hold aliquots cold and dark.

Reconstitution
2 mL bacteriostatic or sterile water for a standard bench stock
Stock concentration
≈ 5.0 mg/mL (10 mg ÷ 2 mL)
Storage once reconstituted
2–8 °C, amber vial or foil-wrapped, protected from light
Stability window
Use reconstituted stock within 14 days at 2–8 °C; freeze single-use aliquots at −20 °C for longer holds
  1. 1 · Equilibrate before opening

    Let the sealed vial reach room temperature before breaking the seal. Opening a cold vial draws in moisture, and lyophilised peptide is hygroscopic.

  2. 2 · Add diluent down the wall

    Direct the diluent slowly against the inside wall of the vial rather than onto the powder cake. A fast stream shears the peptide and lowers recovery.

  3. 3 · Dissolve, never shake

    Swirl or roll gently until the cake is fully dissolved. Vortexing or shaking foams the solution and denatures peptide at the air–liquid interface.

  4. 4 · Inspect the solution

    A correctly reconstituted stock is clear and free of visible particulate. Cloudiness, fibres, or a film indicates the stock should be discarded.

  5. 5 · Aliquot for single use

    Split the stock into single-use aliquots in low-bind tubes and label each with compound, concentration, LOT and date. Repeated freeze–thaw is the most common cause of lost potency.

  6. 6 · Record against the CoA

    Log the LOT number and the batch Certificate of Analysis reference alongside your results so every data point is traceable to a tested batch.

Figures above are worked examples for bench preparation only. Always calculate your own working concentrations from the strength printed on the vial, the exact diluent volume you added, and the batch assay result on the Certificate of Analysis.

Safety & handling cautions

  • Minimise light exposure at every step — discolouration indicates degradation.
  • Avoid contact with metal implements that may catalyse oxidation of the stock.
  • Wear appropriate PPE, work in a clean and controlled area, and dispose of vials, sharps and unused stock in line with your institution’s waste procedures.

In depth

Melanotan II in Australia — research notes

Melanotan II is a cyclic lactam analogue of alpha-MSH supplied at 10mg for Australian melanocortin-receptor research.

  • Cyclic alpha-MSH analogue, 10mg per vial
  • Non-selective across MC1R–MC5R
  • Photo-sensitive: keep dark, 2–8 °C

Non-selective melanocortin agonism

Melanotan II binds across MC1R through MC5R rather than targeting a single subtype, which is why receptor-selectivity studies routinely use it as a broad reference agonist in pigmentation and appetite-signalling models.

Light protection matters

The cyclic structure is photo-sensitive. Vials are shipped light-protected and stored at 2–8 °C; reconstituted material is kept dark in published handling protocols.

Research-only supply in Australia

Supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research — not for human use in any form. Every vial ships from our Australian storage and dispatch facility with a lot-matched certificate of analysis and cold-chain packaging.

Questions

Melanotan II 10mg — frequently asked

What is Melanotan II?+

A synthetic analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), binding non-selectively to melanocortin receptors. Researched for: • Melanogenesis and pigmentation pathways • UV-independent pigment study • Appetite and libido pathway research • Melanocortin receptor activity Lyophilised in sterile glass. Aussie Peptides supplies Melanotan II strictly as an in-vitro laboratory reference material — it is not a therapeutic good and is not for human or veterinary use.

How pure is Aussie Peptides Melanotan II?+

Each Melanotan II lot is analysed by RP-HPLC for purity and by mass spectrometry for identity, and is released against a ≥99% purity specification. The result belongs to that lot: the number printed on your vial maps to its own Certificate of Analysis, so the figure can be recorded alongside your experimental data rather than assumed.

How is Melanotan II 10mg reconstituted and stored in the lab?+

2 mL bacteriostatic or sterile water for a standard bench stock That gives a working stock of roughly ≈ 5.0 mg/mL (10 mg ÷ 2 mL). Reconstituted vials are held at 2–8 °c, amber vial or foil-wrapped, protected from light, and use reconstituted stock within 14 days at 2–8 °c; freeze single-use aliquots at −20 °c for longer holds Sealed lyophilised 10mg vials are stable long-term at -20°C.

Is it legal to buy Melanotan II in Australia?+

Melanotan II is supplied in Australia for in-vitro laboratory research only. It is not approved by the TGA as a therapeutic good and is not sold for human or veterinary consumption. Purchasers must be 18 or over and are responsible for handling, storage and disposal under their own institutional and legal requirements.

How much is Melanotan II 10mg and how fast does it ship?+
