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

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

Not approved for human use

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.

In vitro research only

This preparation is intended for in vitro laboratory research by qualified professionals and not for introduction into humans or animals by any route.

Legal status for research

In the United States, MOTS-c is not a controlled substance and may be legally purchased and possessed for laboratory research use.

Our position

Sports Technology Labs are chemical suppliers, not medical providers. We do not condone or encourage consumer use of research compounds.
