Independently verified99.66% pure
Every batch is analyzed by an accredited US third-party laboratory before it ships.
Identity, purity, and concentration confirmed by MZ Biolabs (Tucson, AZ), a US DEA-licensed analytical facility, via HPLC and mass-spectrometry identity confirmation under GLP standards.
Our third-party certificates of analysis are published on our website — no login required.
Mass-spectrometry analysis verifies the 16-amino-acid sequence matches the listed specification.
Storage & handling
Peptides require cold-chain handling to preserve integrity throughout your research timeline.
- Before reconstitution: Store the lyophilized vial refrigerated at 2–8 °C (36–46 °F), away from direct sunlight and heat.
- After reconstitution: Keep refrigerated at 2–8 °C and use within 30 days. Do not freeze the reconstituted solution.
- Sterile sealed glass vial to maintain integrity in transit and storage.
- Diluent and laboratory supplies are not included and must be sourced separately for research.
Why source MOTS-c from Sports Technology Labs
Research peptides vary widely in identity, purity, and actual peptide content between suppliers, which makes independent third-party verification by HPLC and mass spectrometry essential. Sports Technology Labs publishes its certificates of analysis on the website.
Identity, purity, and concentration verified by MZ Biolabs (Tucson, AZ), an accredited US laboratory.
Vials are freeze-dried and refrigerated to help preserve peptide stability.
Accurate, verifiable specifications with no discreet payment methods or mislabeling.
Transparent business, standard payment methods, no misrepresentation.
What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c is a synthetic mitochondrial-derived peptide — a chain of 16 amino acids with the sequence H-Met-Arg-Trp-Gln-Glu-Met-Gly-Tyr-Ile-Phe-Tyr-Pro-Arg-Lys-Leu-Arg-OH. It corresponds to a peptide encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region and is produced synthetically for laboratory use (ref. 1).
MOTS-c is an experimental research compound supplied strictly for laboratory research. Sports Technology Labs makes no claims regarding its effects, and nothing in this listing should be interpreted as describing outcomes in humans or animals.
Important regulatory information
MOTS-c is not approved by the FDA and is not a dietary supplement, drug, food, or cosmetic. Marketing it for human ingestion is unlawful.
This preparation is intended for in vitro laboratory research by qualified professionals and not for introduction into humans or animals by any route.
In the United States, MOTS-c is not a controlled substance and may be legally purchased and possessed for laboratory research use.
Sports Technology Labs are chemical suppliers, not medical providers. We do not condone or encourage consumer use of research compounds.
