How Should MOTS-c Be Stored and Reconstituted for Research?

MOTS-c ships as a white lyophilized powder. Freeze-drying removes moisture, allowing the peptide to remain chemically stable in frozen storage over an extended period, provided the vial stays sealed and desiccated at −20°C.

For laboratory handling, 2–3 mL of bacteriostatic water is the standard reconstitution volume, added slowly down the vial wall rather than directly onto the powder to reduce mechanical disruption during dissolution. Bacteriostatic water's 0.9% benzyl alcohol content also helps the reconstituted solution resist microbial contamination across repeated handling.

After reconstitution, the solution should be refrigerated at 2–8°C and is considerably less stable than the dry powder form. This describes standard laboratory storage and handling practice only — REVIVE LAB UAE does not provide dosing, administration, or protocol-timing instructions for any product.
