About Melanotan-2 as a reference compound
Melanotan-2 is a cyclic lactam α-MSH analogue used as a non-selective melanocortin-receptor reference ligand. Every PureLabs lot is produced under GMP-aligned synthesis controls, filled and sealed in a controlled environment, then assayed by an independent partner laboratory using reverse-phase HPLC with mass-spectrometric confirmation. Material is released only at or above the stated 99.0% threshold; anything below it is rejected rather than sold. The certificate of analysis carries the chromatogram and MS trace for the exact lot you receive and stays archived under reference PL-1021 for the life of the batch. Available in 1 kit configuration, each containing ten vials.
Handling and storage
- Store sealed Melanotan-2 vials at −20 °C, protected from light.
- Reconstitute with bacteriostatic or sterile water added slowly down the vial wall; swirl, never shake.
- Hold reconstituted solution at 2–8 °C and use within roughly 21 days.
- Aliquot before freezing so the material never sees repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
Melanotan-2 — frequently asked questions
Common laboratory questions about sourcing, purity, storage and shipping of Melanotan-2.
What sizes of Melanotan-2 can I order?
Melanotan-2 ships in 1 configuration: 10 mg/vial · 10 vials/kit. Prices start at $55 per kit.
What purity is PureLabs Melanotan-2?
Current stock assays at 99.0% by reverse-phase HPLC with mass-spectrometric confirmation from an independent laboratory. Lots below the threshold never reach the catalog.
Does Melanotan-2 ship with a certificate of analysis?
Yes. A lot-specific certificate of analysis including the HPLC chromatogram and MS trace accompanies every order and remains retrievable under batch reference PL-1021.
How should Melanotan-2 be stored?
Sealed lyophilized Melanotan-2 is stable at −20 °C for at least 24 months. Once reconstituted, hold at 2–8 °C and use within about three weeks.
How quickly does Melanotan-2 ship?
Orders confirmed before 15:00 UTC dispatch the same working day in insulated, tracked packaging, subject to the import rules of the destination country.
Is Melanotan-2 sold for human use?
No. PureLabs supplies this material strictly as a reference compound for in-vitro and laboratory research. It is not a medicine and is not for human or veterinary consumption.
