SS-31 (Elamipretide) (Research Grade)

SS-31, also called elamipretide, is a cell-permeable tetrapeptide that concentrates in the inner mitochondrial membrane and binds cardiolipin, stabilizing cristae architecture and electron transport efficiency.

SS-31 (Elamipretide) specifications

Reference data researchers look up before ordering ss-31 (elamipretide). Every lot ships with documentation matching the batch number printed on the vial.

  • Class: mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide
  • Target: cardiolipin, inner mitochondrial membrane
  • Also known as: elamipretide, MTP-131
  • Storage: -20°C lyophilized

SS-31 (Elamipretide) purity testing and certificate of analysis

Each ss-31 (elamipretide) lot is released only after an independent purity panel. HPLC quantifies purity, LC-MS confirms molecular identity, and the lot-matched certificate is published so the number on your vial matches the report you download.

  • ≥99% HPLC purity specification
  • LC-MS mass confirmation on every batch
  • Endotoxin and sterility panel documentation
  • Lot-matched ss-31 (elamipretide) COA published on the certifications page

SS-31 (Elamipretide) reconstitution and BAC water ratios

SS-31 (Elamipretide) ships lyophilized. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The ratios below assume a standard U-100 insulin syringe.

  • 10mg vial + 2mL BAC water = 5mg per mL (10 units = 500mcg)
  • 50mg vial + 5mL BAC water = 10mg per mL
  • Protect from light — store the vial in its carton
  • Refrigerate after reconstitution

Where to buy ss-31 (elamipretide)

PX1 Research synthesizes and fills ss-31 (elamipretide) in a US cGMP-compliant facility rather than reselling imported material, so purity documentation traces back to the production lot. Multi-vial pricing steps down at 3, 5 and 10 vials, and subscription intervals are available on the product page.

Frequently asked questions

Is SS-31 the same as elamipretide?

Yes — SS-31, elamipretide and MTP-131 are the same tetrapeptide under different naming conventions.

What does SS-31 bind to?

Cardiolipin, a phospholipid unique to the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is how it localizes so selectively.

Is a certificate of analysis provided with ss-31 (elamipretide)?

Yes. Every ss-31 (elamipretide) lot has a published, lot-matched COA showing HPLC purity and LC-MS identity confirmation.

How should ss-31 (elamipretide) be stored?

Store the lyophilized vial at -20°C protected from light. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep it refrigerated at 2–8°C.
