Description:

SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeting peptide studied for its role in cellular energy production, oxidative stress reduction, and mitochondrial protection. It selectively interacts with mitochondrial membranes, helping to improve ATP generation and reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in research models. Supplied as a high-purity lyophilized powder, SS-31 is widely used in preclinical studies related to aging, metabolic health, and tissue recovery. For research use only; not approved for human or veterinary applications.

Research Applications:

• Mitochondrial Function Studies – Investigating ATP production and energy metabolism
• Oxidative Stress Research – Studying reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
• Anti-Aging & Longevity Research – Exploring cellular aging and mitochondrial decline
• Tissue Repair & Recovery Studies – Research in muscle, cardiac, and cellular recovery models

Storage and Handling:

• Lyophilized: store at -20°C, protected from light and moisture
• Reconstituted: store at 2–8°C, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
• Handle using sterile techniques to maintain peptide integrity

Product Specifications:

• Appearance: White to off-white lyophilized powder
• Purity: ≥ 98% (HPLC verified)
• Solubility: Soluble in sterile BAC water or compatible buffers
