Melanotan 1 (MT1) 10mg – Synthetic Research Peptide
Melanotan 1 (MT1) 10mg Peptide, also known as afamelanotide, is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is studied in research involving melanocortin receptors and related cellular signalling pathways.
Bluewell Peptides lists Melanotan 1 (MT1) 10mg as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) research material. The product listing reports purity greater than 99.1% by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Researchers should consult the relevant batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) to assess the analytical results and confirm product identity.
What Is Melanotan 1 (MT1)?
Melanotan 1 is a synthetic peptide analogue of α-MSH. Its structure includes amino acid substitutions intended to alter properties relative to the native hormone. It is associated with research into melanocortin receptor activity and structure–activity relationships.
Afamelanotide is the name of a specific pharmaceutical substance related to this peptide family. However, a research product labelled Melanotan 1 should not automatically be assumed to have pharmaceutical-grade identity, quality, or regulatory status. Those characteristics require appropriate documentation.

Analytical Documentation
Confirm that the current COA is available and supports the product identity and stated purity.
HPLC purity is an analytical result, not a complete assessment of product quality. It does not by itself establish sterility, endotoxin status, safety, or suitability for human use.
Storage and Laboratory Handling
Follow the storage conditions stated on the current product label and supported by the supplier’s stability documentation. Protect research materials from unsuitable environmental conditions and handle them in accordance with applicable laboratory safety procedures.
Storage recommendations should be based on the specific product formulation, packaging, and available stability data. Avoid making claims about long-term stability or freeze–thaw tolerance unless supported by relevant evidence.
This product description does not provide reconstitution or administration instructions. Research activities should follow institutionally approved procedures and applicable safety requirements.

- .Frequently Asked Questions
What is Melanotan 1?
Melanotan 1 is a synthetic analogue of α-MSH studied in relation to melanocortin signalling and receptor interactions.
Is Melanotan 1 the same as afamelanotide?
The terms are closely related, but a research product labelled Melanotan 1 should not automatically be considered equivalent to an authorised afamelanotide pharmaceutical product. Identity, formulation, quality, and regulatory status must be established independently.
What does the 10mg designation mean?
It indicates the stated quantity in the product listing. Confirm the actual net content against the product label and accompanying documentation.
What does HPLC purity mean?
It does not independently establish sterility or safety.
Is a COA available?
The supplied product description states that each batch is accompanied by a COA. Confirm that a current, batch-specific document is available and supports the claims made on the product page.
