Melanotan 1 10mg COA and lot verification

Each Melanotan 1 10mg lot ships with a third-party Certificate of Analysis that lists the lot identifier, the reversed-phase HPLC purity result and the mass-spectrometry identity confirmation for that batch. Match the lot number printed on the vial to the lot on the COA before the material is used in any in-vitro protocol; if the two do not match, contact us for the correct document.

What is Melanotan 1 10mg?

Melanotan-1 is a synthetic 13-amino-acid analog of α-MSH developed at the University of Arizona. Marketed pharmaceutically as Scenesse (Afamelanotide), it was approved by the FDA in 2019 for the rare genetic disorder erythropoietic protoporphyria.

How Melanotan-1 works

Melanotan-1 selectively activates the MC1R receptor on melanocytes, upregulating eumelanin synthesis. The result is increased skin pigmentation that is photoprotective — the basis for both its tanning research and its approved use in light-sensitivity disorders.

Melanotan 1 10mg FAQ

What is Melanotan-1 studied for?

Melanotan-1 appears in laboratory research covering skin pigmentation, photoprotection, dermatology research. Every reference describes in-vitro or preclinical study models, not outcomes in people.

Does Melanotan-1 include a Certificate of Analysis?

Yes. Each Melanotan-1 lot ships with a batch-specific third-party Certificate of Analysis reporting 99.3% purity by reversed-phase HPLC with mass-spectrometry identity confirmation. The COA linked on this page matches the lot number printed on the vial.

What form does Melanotan-1 arrive in and how is it stored?

Melanotan-1 is supplied as lyophilized powder in a sealed vial with its lot documentation. Store at -20°C (Freezer), protect the vial from light and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.

Does HPLC purity tell me the net peptide content?

No. HPLC area-percent purity and net peptide content are different measurements. Review the report for each value rather than treating them as interchangeable. Read about peptide purity versus net content.

Is Melanotan-1 approved as a drug?

Yes. Marketed as Scenesse (Afamelanotide), it's FDA-approved for erythropoietic protoporphyria. It is not approved for cosmetic tanning.

What purity is your Melanotan-1?

≥99.3% HPLC purity, mass-spec verified, COA included.

Which analytical data are reported for Melanotan 1 lots?

Each Melanotan 1 batch is released with reversed-phase HPLC area-percent purity and mass-spectrometry identity confirmation from an independent laboratory, tied to the lot number on the vial.
