Which vial size should I order?
| Vial size | Reconstitution volume | Concentration @ 2 mL BAC | Use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10mg (MS10) | 1-2 mL BAC water | 5.0 mg/mL | Small dose-response designs |
| 20mg (MS20) | 1-2 mL BAC water | 10.0 mg/mL | Extended-cohort or higher-concentration work |
What is MOTS-C, and how does a mitochondrial-derived peptide differ from GLP-1-class molecules?
MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region. Prescott Bio supplies it as a lyophilized peptide in two vial sizes (10mg and 20mg). Every lot is assayed by HPLC (purity) and mass spectrometry (identity).
Read more about the peptide
MOTS-C is one of a small family of peptides discovered to be transcribed from the mitochondrial genome rather than the nuclear genome. In the pre-clinical literature it is discussed as a mitochondrial-signaling molecule involved in metabolic homeostasis, exercise-response, and cellular-stress research.
MOTS-C sits distinct from the incretin-axis analogs (Retatrutide, Tirzepatide) and from small-molecule NNMT inhibitors (5-Amino-1MQ) — it is a mitochondrial-derived peptide, a category of its own in the metabolic and longevity research space. Certificates of analysis are batch-specific and available on request via the /coa lookup. All product is sold strictly for laboratory research use only.

Why buy domestic vs cross-border import?
| Prescott Bio (Canadian domestic) | Cross-border import | |
|---|---|---|
| Ship time to Canadian lab | 2-4 business days from BC | 7-21 days plus CBSA hold risk |
| Currency and invoicing | CAD, GST/HST line-item | USD, FX friction, no CAD invoice |
| Customs and duty | None — dispatched inside Canada | CBSA declaration; duty and delay risk |
| CoA delivery | Batch-specific HPLC + MS per lot, PDF on request | Varies — often composite or template |
| Cold-chain risk | Domestic transit within stability window | Multi-week transit may exceed thermal wrap |
Questions Canadian labs ask before their first order

What is MOTS-C?
MOTS-C is a 16-amino-acid mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) encoded within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA region — one of a small family of peptides transcribed from the mitochondrial genome. In the pre-clinical literature it is discussed as a mitochondrial-signaling molecule in metabolic homeostasis, exercise-response, and cellular-stress research. -
10mg vs 20mg — which vial size?
The 10mg presentation (MS10) suits smaller-scale dose-response work and short cohorts; the 20mg presentation (MS20) reduces per-vial reconstitution overhead for higher-throughput designs. Both ship in kits of 10 vials and come from the same synthesized lots. -
How is MOTS-C reconstituted?
- Wipe the vial stopper with an alcohol swab.
- Draw the target volume of bacteriostatic water (typically 1-2 mL).
- Inject the diluent slowly against the vial wall — do not aim at the peptide cake.
- Swirl gently to dissolve. Do NOT shake.
- Store the reconstituted vial at 2-8°C. Use within 30 days.
-
How is it stored?
- Refrigerate lyophilized vials at 2-8°C until first use.
- After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, store at 2-8°C and use within 30 days.
- For storage beyond six months, freeze the sealed lyophilized vial at -20°C.
- Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
-
How fast does Prescott Bio ship?
Orders placed before 14:00 PT ship the same business day from our British Columbia facility. Canadian orders arrive 2-4 business days after dispatch. -
Does MOTS-C ship at ambient or on cold packs within Canada?
Lyophilized MOTS-C ships at ambient with a thermal wrap for domestic Canadian delivery. The peptide is stable in lyophilized form at room temperature for the 2-4 day transit. Refrigerate on arrival.
