Description
Melanotan-I Vial – BioSupply UK
Disclaimer: This product is intended for laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.
Melanotan-I vial is a synthetic research peptide and linear analogue of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is engineered to selectively interact with the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R), making it a valuable compound for laboratory studies focused on melanocortin signalling, receptor binding selectivity, and peptide-mediated pigmentation pathways.
Originally developed for experimental and clinical research applications, Melanotan-I is not approved for human use. Products labelled as research materials are supplied strictly for in-vitro or preclinical experimentation.
Key Features:
- MC1R-selective melanocortin research peptide
- Designed for in-vitro and mechanistic studies
- ≥99% purity, lab-verified
- Supplied as a lyophilised powder
- Unit size: 10 mg per vial
Handling & Storage
After reconstitution (mixed with bacteriostatic water):
- Store refrigerated at 2–8 °C
- Do not freeze once reconstituted
- Use within 30–45 days for most peptides
Quality Assurance Notice
On very rare occasions, if a vial has been compromised during transit, reconstitution may result in a cloudy solution.
This is not normal. Please contact us immediately with photos and we will arrange a replacement without delay.
Who Should Use?
Melanotan-I Vial is strictly intended for use by:
- Qualified scientific researchers
- Laboratory personnel
- Healthcare professionals involved in melanocortin and pigmentation research
About Melanotan-I in Research
Melanotan-I is used in laboratory research to explore MC1R receptor activity, peptide-receptor binding affinity, and downstream signalling pathways involved in melanocortin-mediated pigmentation. Its high selectivity for MC1R — compared to the broader receptor profile of Melanotan-II — makes it particularly valuable for studies examining receptor subtype selectivity, structure-activity relationships, and the mechanistic role of α-MSH analogues under controlled experimental conditions.
Synthesis & Quality
Manufactured via validated peptide synthesis processes, each batch of Melanotan-I undergoes stringent identity and purity testing to ensure reproducibility and lot-to-lot consistency. Certificates of Analysis (CoA) are available upon request.
Legal & Safety
Supplied strictly for laboratory research use only. Not approved by regulatory agencies such as the FDA for clinical or human use. Products are not medicines, supplements, foods, or cosmetics. Researchers are responsible for compliance with institutional and local safety policies.
