Cost per milligram
| Specification | Total material | Price | Cost per mg |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 mg x 10 vials | 400 mg | $230.00 | $0.575/mg |
| 10 mg x 10 vials | 100 mg | $125.00 | $1.250/mg |
| 10 mg x 1 vial | 10 mg | $30.00 | $3.000/mg |
Choosing a specification
MOTS-c is listed in 3 specifications. Measured by cost per milligram — the only figure that compares cleanly across different strengths and vial counts — the best value is the 40 mg x 10 vials at $230.00, which works out to $0.575/mg. The least efficient listing is the 10 mg x 1 vial at $30.00, or $3.000/mg — a 5.2× premium per milligram.
The single 10 mg x 1 vial vial at $30.00 exists to evaluate the material before committing to pack quantities; the 40 mg x 10 vials pack brings the rate down to $0.575/mg. Whether that premium is worth paying depends on whether you will consume pack quantities within the material's useful life — unused material is not cheap material. Single vials also ship at the reduced $20.00 rate when ordered alone, and ride along free inside any order containing a pack.
Reconstitution reference
Resulting concentration by vial strength and diluent volume. Arithmetic only, provided for laboratory preparation and dilution planning — this is not dosing guidance. The method is set out in the reconstitution and dilution guide.
| Vial | +1 mL | +2 mL | +3 mL | +5 mL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | 10.00 mg/mL | 5.00 mg/mL | 3.33 mg/mL | 2.00 mg/mL |
| 40 mg | 40.00 mg/mL | 20.00 mg/mL | 13.33 mg/mL | 8.00 mg/mL |
Molar reference
Molar quantity per vial at each available strength, calculated from a molecular weight of 2174.6 g/mol. Useful where a protocol is specified in molar rather than mass terms. Values are for the free peptide; net peptide content per vial depends on water and counter-ion content stated on the certificate of analysis.
| Vial | Micromoles | Nanomoles |
|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | 4.599 µmol | 4599 nmol |
| 40 mg | 18.394 µmol | 18394 nmol |
How this compares within its class
By best available cost per milligram it ranks 3 of 4 in Cellular & Mitochondrial, against a class range of $0.009 to $2.100 per mg. At 2174.6 g/mol it is the third lightest of the 4 compounds in this class with a published molecular weight, which is what drives the molar figures above. It is listed in 3 specifications, against a class median of 3.
Comparisons are drawn from the current Aegis Bio catalog and are procurement figures only — they carry no implication about relative suitability for any purpose. See the full cellular & mitochondrial class →

Storage and handling
This class spans a wide mass range, from small-molecule cofactors to high-mass peptide fragments, so handling varies more within it than in other groups. Cofactors such as NAD+ and glutathione are readily oxidised in solution — prepare working solutions close to the time of use rather than storing them.
- Lyophilised powder: store sealed at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture.
- Bring sealed vials to room temperature before opening, so warm air does not condense moisture onto cold powder.
- Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water directed against the vial wall; do not shake or vortex. Swirl gently until dissolved.
- After reconstitution: store at 2–8 °C and use within the working period established by your laboratory.
- Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Aliquot where the solution will be accessed repeatedly.

Documentation
A certificate of analysis is available by request for the batch supplied, covering HPLC purity and mass-spectrometry identity confirmation. The two measurements answer different questions — identity confirms the molecule, purity quantifies how much of the sample it represents. See what each one proves.
Frequently asked
What specifications of MOTS-c are available?
MOTS-c is listed in 3 specifications: 10 mg x 1 vial, 10 mg x 10 vials, 40 mg x 10 vials. Prices are in USD and include the vial.
Is a certificate of analysis available for MOTS-c?
Yes. A certificate of analysis is available by request for the batch supplied, covering HPLC purity and mass-spectrometry identity confirmation. Request the COA for a specific lot before ordering if your protocol requires documentation on file.
Can working solutions be stored, or should they be made fresh?
Cofactors in this class, including NAD+ and glutathione, are readily oxidised in solution. Prepare working solutions close to the time of use rather than storing them, and keep stock solutions cold, dark and aliquoted.
How should MOTS-c be stored?
Store the lyophilised powder sealed at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. After reconstitution, store at 2–8 °C and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Bring sealed vials to room temperature before opening to avoid condensation onto cold powder.
What does shipping cost?
Carts made up entirely of single vials ship for $20.00. Any cart containing a multi-vial kit ships for $60.00 standard or $80.00 expedited, with single vials included free. From 4 kits upward the rate drops to $30.00 standard or $50.00 expedited. Shipping is added at checkout and revalidated on the server before the order is accepted.
How is payment handled?
Payment is accepted in on-chain Bitcoin or USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20). No card details are collected. Orders remain pending until the payment is verified on-chain, after which a confirmation is sent.
