SS-31 (Elamipretide)

Buy SS-31 UK – 10 mg and 50 mg vials

Looking for SS-31 UK? Ultra Peptides supplies SS-31 (Elamipretide) as a lyophilised research compound in 10 mg and 50 mg vials (10 mg for £19.99, 50 mg for £79.99), dispatched from the UK the same working day when you order and pay before 2 pm. A cell-permeable, mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide that binds cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

What is SS-31 (Elamipretide)?

SS-31, also known as elamipretide or MTP-131, is a Szeto-Schiller tetrapeptide that alternates aromatic and basic residues. This design lets it cross cell membranes and concentrate in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

There it binds cardiolipin, a phospholipid essential for the electron-transport chain. SS-31 is supplied in 10 mg and 50 mg vials.

SS-31 (Elamipretide) research overview

Researchers who order SS-31 UK from us typically work in the following areas. All of the work summarised here is preclinical – cell-culture and animal-model research – and is not evidence of any effect in people.

Cardiolipin and the electron-transport chain

SS-31 is studied for stabilising cardiolipin, preserving cristae structure and reducing reactive-oxygen-species production in mitochondria.

Models of mitochondrial dysfunction

It has been investigated in animal models of cardiac, renal and skeletal-muscle mitochondrial dysfunction, and in ageing research.

Purity and independent lab testing

Every vial of SS-31 UK is supplied at a minimum of 99% purity, measured by HPLC. We send batches to independent laboratories and publish the certificates on our lab reports page as they are issued. If you need the analysis for the batch you receive, email us your order number and we will send it.

Peptides are synthesised to the published sequence, lyophilised and sealed under controlled conditions, then stored cold and away from light until they are packed for dispatch.

Reconstituting and storing SS-31 (Elamipretide)

SS-31 (Elamipretide) arrives as a dry, lyophilised powder. Most researchers reconstitute it with bacteriostatic water, adding the diluent slowly down the inside of the vial and swirling gently rather than shaking. Use our reconstitution calculator to work out the concentration for the volume you add.

Unopened vials keep best frozen at −20 °C, or in the fridge at 2–8 °C for shorter periods, always protected from light. Once reconstituted, keep the solution refrigerated and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles – splitting it into aliquots helps. Our storage guide covers shelf life in detail.

Laboratory handling checklist for SS-31 (Elamipretide)

• Let the sealed vial reach room temperature before opening, so moisture does not condense on the powder.
• Wipe the rubber septum with 70% isopropyl alcohol and work on a clean surface.
• Add the diluent slowly down the inside wall of the vial and swirl gently until the powder has dissolved – do not shake.
• Label the vial with the concentration, the date of reconstitution and the batch number.
• Keep reconstituted solutions at 2–8 °C, protected from light, and use them within the stability window of your protocol.
• Record lot numbers in your lab notebook so results can be traced back to a specific batch.
