SS-31 Peptide 10mg
Product Description
SS-31 Peptide 10mg (Elamipretide) for Mitochondrial Research
Our SS-31 peptide 10mg is a small, mitochondria-targeted peptide for laboratory research into cellular energy, oxidative stress and mitochondrial membrane function. Each vial is supplied at 99.86% purity, identity-confirmed by mass spectrometry, with a third-party lab report you can verify yourself.
What Is SS-31 Peptide (Elamipretide)?
SS-31, also known as elamipretide, is a very small peptide designed to enter cells and concentrate in the mitochondria, the parts of a cell that produce energy.
It is made of just four amino acids. Most compounds struggle to reach the inner mitochondrial membrane, where energy is actually made. SS-31 was designed to reach it, and in lab studies it binds cardiolipin, a membrane fat that helps hold the cell's energy-making machinery in place.
SS-31 was developed by researchers Hazel Szeto and Peter Schiller (the "SS" in its name). Because it reaches the inner mitochondrial membrane, it has become a widely used tool in lab research on cellular energy, oxidative stress and age-related mitochondrial changes.
- Also known asElamipretide, MTP-131

BATCH: LOT 005 · REPORT AA-2026-0071.0351
How Every Batch Is Tested
- Purity check (HPLC): separates the sample into its parts, so anything unwanted can be measured.
- Identity check (mass spectrometry): weighs the molecule to confirm it really is SS-31.
- Content check: measures how many milligrams are actually in each vial.
- Handling tip: let the vial reach room temperature before opening, and always use clean, sterile lab practices.
SS-31 Peptide 10mg FAQ
Common questions about our SS-31 peptide 10mg, its lab testing, shipping and storage.
Can I verify the lab report myself?
Yes. Open the COA above (it opens in a new tab) and scan its QR code to confirm the results directly with the testing lab. Also check that the batch number on your vial (Lot 005) matches the report.
Is SS-31 the same as elamipretide?
Yes. SS-31 is the original research name, and elamipretide is its official generic name. Our lab report identifies this batch as SS-31/elamipretide.
How is SS-31 reconstituted for lab work?
The diluent and volume depend on your laboratory protocol and the in-vitro assay being run. Concentration is simply the peptide mass divided by the volume of diluent added. Our Concentration Calculator does the math, and our peptide reconstitution guide covers general lab handling.
Is this product for human use?
No. Our SS-31 is a research-grade compound sold for laboratory use only. It is not intended for use in humans or animals.
Where does it ship from?
All orders ship from Phoenix, Arizona, USA. More answers are on our FAQ page.
How should I store it when it arrives?
Put the vial in the freezer at -20°C, away from light. Once reconstituted, keep it in the fridge at 2–8°C and follow your lab protocol for how long to use it.
