Buy SS-31 research peptide (50 mg vial or 10-pack) for in-vitro laboratory research. Every lot is tested by HPLC and mass spectrometry and comes with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis.
About SS-31
SS-31 is a synthetic tetrapeptide (D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2) that is small and cell-permeable and concentrates at the inner mitochondrial membrane through electrostatic interaction with cardiolipin. It is also referenced as elamipretide. Alchemy Gold Research supplies SS-31 as a lyophilized powder in a 50 mg research vial for in-vitro laboratory research. It is US-based, pharma grade, tested by HPLC and mass spectrometry, and ships with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA).
Research background
Because it localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane, SS-31 is used as a tool compound for studying mitochondrial membrane behavior. In the laboratory it is used to investigate membrane stabilization, electron transport chain efficiency and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cultured cells and in isolated mitochondria. Typical work includes cardiolipin-binding experiments and fluorescent ROS read-outs in cell-culture models. Published research is preclinical. This product is supplied for laboratory research only; it is not labeled, sold or approved for human or veterinary use.
Studied research pathways
- Cardiolipin interaction. Binding and localization experiments at the inner mitochondrial membrane.
- Mitochondrial membrane stabilization. Membrane-integrity read-outs in cultured cells and isolated mitochondria.
- ROS modulation. Fluorescent reactive-oxygen-species probes in cell-culture models.
Quality and documentation
Every lot of SS-31 is tested by HPLC for purity and by mass spectrometry for molecular identity, and it is released with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) that lists the lot number, test date, purity and mass result. Testing is carried out by an independent third-party laboratory. The exact values for the lot you receive are printed on its COA.
Storage and handling
Store the lyophilized powder at −20 °C (−4 °F), protected from light. Keep the vial sealed until you are ready to use it, and let it come to room temperature before opening to limit moisture condensation. Solvents, concentrations and handling protocols are set by your research team and your institution's safety procedures.
Frequently asked questions
- Is SS-31 sold for human use?
- No. Alchemy Gold Research sells SS-31 as a research material for in-vitro laboratory use only. It is not a drug, food or supplement, and it is not labeled, sold or approved for human or veterinary use.
- What purity do you test for?
- Every lot is tested by HPLC, and the product specification is ≥98% purity. The measured value for your lot is printed on its batch-specific COA.
- Where do I find the COA?
- A batch-specific COA accompanies each lot. If you have a question about a COA, contact us and include the lot number.
- Who can buy SS-31?
- Qualified researchers and laboratories that accept our Research Use Only (RUO) policy. The policy page lists the conditions of purchase.
- Where does SS-31 localize in the cell?
- In laboratory models it concentrates at the inner mitochondrial membrane through electrostatic interaction with cardiolipin, which is why it is used in mitochondrial membrane and ROS studies.
