MOTS-C Pen

Description

MOTS-C Pen – Research Grade

MOTS-C Pen supplies MOTS-C, a synthetic mitochondrial-derived peptide, in a 40mg single-unit research pen device intended for laboratory research applications. The compound supplied is identical to our standard MOTS-C vial, manufactured to the same purity specification and backed by the same batch-specific Certificate of Analysis. The pen format offers researchers a self-contained, single-unit research supply option as an alternative to the standard vial.

MOTS-C is a naturally occurring, mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded within a short open reading frame of the mitochondrial genome. It has drawn substantial interest across cellular and metabolic research programs for its studied role in mitochondrial function, cellular energy regulation, and metabolic homeostasis. Investigators have examined MOTS-C across a range of experimental contexts, including glucose utilization pathways, cellular stress response signaling, and models relevant to exercise physiology and metabolic aging research. Because MOTS-C is thought to act, at least in part, through AMPK-related signaling pathways, it continues to be a peptide of interest for researchers building comparative studies across mitochondrial-derived peptide classes.

MOTS-C Pen vs. Standard Vial

The MOTS-C Pen and our standard MOTS-C vial supply the same underlying compound, manufactured under the same quality controls and tested to the same analytical standard. The vial format is designed for researchers who prefer to integrate the peptide into their own established laboratory workflows using their own preferred handling procedures. The Pen format instead packages the research supply as a single, self-contained unit. Full specifications for how the Pen format is constructed and intended to be handled are detailed in the instruction manual, and we encourage researchers to review that information in full before use.

Quality Standards and Testing

Every batch of MOTS-C, in both vial and pen formats, is manufactured under controlled conditions and subject to independent third-party analytical testing. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is generated for each batch, documenting identity and purity, and is made available to support research documentation and reproducibility requirements.

Potential Research Areas

• Mitochondrial function and cellular energy metabolism studies
• Metabolic signaling and glucose utilization research
• Cellular stress response investigations
• Exercise physiology and healthy aging research models
• Comparative research on mitochondrial-derived peptide formats

Shipping and Availability

The MOTS-C Pen ships to qualified researchers and laboratories in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. Order documentation and batch-specific Certificates of Analysis are provided to support customs clearance and internal laboratory record keeping across all shipping regions.

Frequently Asked Questions About the MOTS-C Pen

Q: Is the compound in the MOTS-C Pen the same as the standard vial?

A: Yes. Both formats supply the same MOTS-C peptide, manufactured and tested to the same purity standard.

Q: Does the MOTS-C Pen include bacteriostatic water, or is it purchased separately?

A: Bacteriostatic water is included, within the pen — no separate vial of diluent is required.

Q: Is a Certificate of Analysis available for the MOTS-C Pen?

A: Yes. Every batch includes a Certificate of Analysis for quality verification, the same documentation standard applied across our full catalog.

Q: Do you ship the MOTS-C Pen outside the United States?

A: Yes. We ship to qualified researchers and laboratories in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, in addition to the United States.
