Is a Certificate of Analysis available for MT 2?

Yes. Batches are independently verified by reverse-phase HPLC. The Certificate of Analysis is batch-matched to the vial label and published in the public COA library at alphex.co.uk/pages/coa, where you can read it before you order.

How should it be stored on arrival?

Lyophilised peptides ship vacuum-sealed. Refrigerate at 2 to 8 C for short-term storage and freeze at minus 20 C for long-term storage. Keep light-sensitive compounds in the original vial.

What is it supplied for?

Supplied exclusively for laboratory and in-vitro research purposes by qualified researchers. Not authorised for human or veterinary use.

Every certificate Alphex holds is published in full, including a batch we rejected. All testing is carried out by Vanguard Laboratory, Olympia WA.

Certificate of Analysis

Every batch is independently verified by reverse-phase HPLC to 99+% purity by Vanguard Laboratory. The certificate is batch-matched to the vial label and published in our COA library, so you can read it before you order rather than asking for it.

Vanguard is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by A2LA under certificate scope 6377.01. The chromatographic purity result is not represented as an accredited-scope test.

MT 2 - Research Peptide

For research purposes only. This product is supplied exclusively for scientific laboratory research and analytical applications. It is not intended for human or animal use, and must not be misused in any way that contravenes regulations or applicable laws.

Product Overview MT 2 is a cyclic seven-residue analogue of the alpha-MSH(4-10) core sequence, closed through an Asp-Lys lactam bridge. It is used as a research reagent for studies of melanocortin receptor affinity and the effect of cyclisation on peptide conformation.

Technical Specifications:

Chemical Name: MT 2 (cyclic [Nle4, Asp5, D-Phe7]-alpha-MSH(4-10))
Molecular Formula: C50H69N15O9
Molecular Weight: ~1024.2 g/mol
CAS Number: 121062-08-6
Sequence: Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2 (7 residues)
Purity: ≥99.0% specification. Certificate published in the COA library before this batch is listed.
Appearance: White to off-white lyophilized powder.

Storage & Handling: Store lyophilized product at -20°C and protect from light. Reconstitute with Bacteriostatic Water, hold at 4°C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The lactam bridge makes this analogue more stable in solution than its linear parent.
