Melanotan I is a α-MSH analog (afamelanotide) supplied by Nano Aminos strictly as a reference material for in-vitro and laboratory research. It is catalogued under CAS 75921-69-6, molecular formula C78H111N21O19, and a molecular weight of 1646.9 g/mol.
Provided as a lyophilized powder (white solid), Melanotan I 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 99.0% 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 I is available in 5 mg research size.

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.
