Buy Melanotan 1 Starter Kit in Australia

Buy the Melanotan 1 starter kit in Australia from Macropus Peptides. Each kit contains a 10mg vial of lyophilised Melanotan 1, a 3 mL vial of bacteriostatic water, ten 0.5 mL insulin syringes and twenty alcohol swabs. Also known as afamelanotide, the peptide is a 13 amino acid analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone with two substitutions that make it far more stable and potent than the natural hormone at the melanocortin 1 receptor. It is used in melanocyte and pigment biology research. The kit costs less than the 10mg vial and a water vial bought on their own, so the syringes and swabs add nothing to the bill. Each vial is lot-numbered, with the certificate of analysis for its lot on request. Order online for dispatch from our Australian shelves to every Australian state, strictly for in-vitro research by buyers aged 18 and over, not for human or veterinary use.

Buy Melanotan 1 Starter Kit Australia: 10mg Vial and Mixing Supplies

Pigment biology laboratories come to this kit for the linear melanocortin analogue rather than its cyclic cousin. One 10mg vial, a small bottle of diluent and a set of syringes and swabs arrive together, ready for a first stock.

What afamelanotide is: an alpha-MSH analogue

Alpha-MSH is a 13 residue hormone cut from the precursor POMC. It switches on the melanocortin 1 receptor on melanocytes, the signal that drives eumelanin production, but it breaks down within minutes. Swapping methionine 4 for norleucine and L-phenylalanine 7 for its D form gives the linear analogue in this kit that resists enzymes and binds the receptor far more tightly. Its international name is afamelanotide. Stand-alone vials are on the single 10mg vial listing.

Afamelanotide in the research record

PNAS carried the first description of the modified sequence in 1980, reporting unusually long melanotropic activity in animal tissue. The melanocortin receptor family was cloned and reported in Science in 1992, giving the target a molecular identity. The journal Peptides reviewed its development in 2006, and NEJM carried a clinical study in erythropoietic protoporphyria in 2015. Each design appears in the afamelanotide research library.

Afamelanotide kit: items and specifications to order

The carton carries the lot-coded 10mg afamelanotide vial, a 3 mL bacteriostatic water bottle, ten insulin syringes and twenty alcohol swabs, all sealed.

Afamelanotide 10mg: mixing the kit supplies

Dividing ten milligrams of the MC1R agonist by the water volume gives the answer. At 1.5 mL that is near 6.67 mg per mL; at 2 mL, exactly 5; the MC1R agonist in all 3 mL sits near 3.33. The kit syringes show fifty graduation ticks, a hundredth of a millilitre apart, across their 0.5 mL barrel. Further diluent comes as bacteriostatic water 10mL.

Melanotan 1 price compared with single items

Order the 10mg vial and a 3 mL water vial as two lines and the pair already costs more than this kit. The syringes and swabs are therefore included at no charge.

Afamelanotide storage

Linear melanocortin peptides are light-sensitive. Keep the linear analogue as powder in a -20 °C freezer, carton closed; after water goes in, it belongs in a dark fridge between 2 and 8 °C.

Is Melanotan 1 legal in Australia

This lyophilised vial is not an ARTG-entered product, and we supply it purely for in-vitro research. Melanocortin analogues have their own wording in the TGA's Poisons Standard, worth reading ahead of any purchase.

Melanotan 1 for sale Australia wide

Afamelanotide kits ship from inside Australia to capitals and country towns alike. Related melanocortin bundles include the Melanotan II starter kit and the PT-141 starter kit, all within kits and stacks.
