$39.98
White to off-white solid. CAS 121062-08-6, MW 1024.2. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water. Purity 99.59% by RP-HPLC. Research use only — not for human or veterinary use.
Melanotan II is a melanocortin receptor agonist supplied by Nano Aminos strictly as a reference material for in-vitro and laboratory research. It is catalogued under CAS 121062-08-6, molecular formula C50H69N15O9, and a molecular weight of 1024.2 g/mol.
Provided as a lyophilized powder (white to off-white solid), Melanotan II is part of the Nano Aminos Signaling & Reproductive research range and is prepared for research use by reconstitution in bacteriostatic water using standard aseptic technique.
Every production lot is characterized by reversed-phase HPLC and mass spectrometry at 99.59% typical HPLC purity and ships with a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA), so identity and purity can be independently confirmed before use. Vials are kept cold and protected from repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Melanotan II is available in 10 mg research size.

Opens on this page. Analysis by an independent laboratory. Research use only - not for human or veterinary use.
Storage. Store lyophilized material at -20°C protected from light and moisture for long-term stability. After reconstitution, keep at 2-8°C and use within the documented in-use window.
Handling. Allow sealed vials to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to limit condensation. Reconstitute with the listed diluent using standard aseptic laboratory technique. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Safety. Handle as a laboratory research chemical. Wear appropriate PPE and follow your institution's chemical-handling and waste-disposal procedures.
Dispatch. In-stock orders are processed on business days and shipped with temperature-controlled packaging and gel packs to preserve material integrity in transit.
Tracking. A tracking reference is issued at dispatch. Lab accounts can consolidate shipments and arrange standing orders.
Eligibility. Orders are accepted from researchers, resellers and institutions for laboratory research use only.
