Buy MT-1 for laboratory research
Buy MT-1, also called Melanotan-1 in research literature, in a single-vial format. Compare the current listing with the 10-pack option and review the available lot record before laboratory purchase.
What researchers investigate
MT-1 and MT-2 differ in structure and should not be treated as equivalent materials. Research on melanocortin signaling can examine receptor activation, intracellular cAMP or pigment-related cell processes. These are distinct experimental endpoints, and the selected model determines what a result can support.
How to interpret a laboratory result
Verify the sequence, terminal modifications and analytical identity of the supplied material. Record the receptor system, exposure timing and cell viability alongside the primary endpoint. Comparing MT-1 with a cyclic analog requires matched assay conditions rather than a comparison of product names or vial mass.
Choosing a research vial
Start with the molecular identity and the question your laboratory needs to answer. Choose an amount that fits the planned analytical work, controls and repeat measurements. A higher-mass vial does not mean higher purity or stronger activity. For a new workflow, separate a small compatibility assessment from the material reserved for the main study.
Purity, identity and lot documentation
Review the current certificate-of-analysis library and match the compound, amount and lot identifier to the delivered material. HPLC area purity describes the relative chromatographic signal under the reported method; mass spectrometry supports molecular identity. Neither result alone establishes net content, sterility, endotoxin status or biological activity. If the matching report is pending or unavailable, request documentation before treating those properties as verified.
Storage and laboratory preparation
Follow the current product label and lot-specific handling instructions. Keep sealed material protected from unnecessary moisture, heat and light. For cold-stored sealed vials, allow the container to equilibrate while closed before opening to reduce condensation. Once a solution is prepared, validate its solvent, concentration, container and holding time for the intended assay. Use separate aliquots when appropriate to limit repeated handling and freeze-thaw exposure. Appearance is not a substitute for an analytical stability assessment.

Lot-specific documentation snapshot
The public COA library lists a 10 mg MT-1 record for lot SRL-MT1-101, reporting chromatographic purity of 99.88%. This result describes that named report only. It does not establish the identity, amount, sterility, or purity of a different lot or product option.
Before procurement, match the compound and lot on the current report to the material under review. Our COA reading guide explains how to assess the analytical method and limitations. Contact support with a lot number if you need clarification. Listed-lot availability may change.
