Buy Melanotan II Starter Kit in Australia
Buy Melanotan II starter kit in Australia from Macropus Peptides: a Melanotan II 10mg vial packed with a 3 mL vial of bacteriostatic water, ten 0.5 mL insulin syringes and twenty alcohol swabs. The peptide is a cyclic seven amino acid analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone, designed in 1989 to resist breakdown, and it activates several melanocortin receptors at once, which makes it a reference ligand in pigmentation and melanocortin research. All of the supplied water brings the stock to 3.33 mg per mL. The vial is labelled with lot number and storage temperature, and the certificate of analysis for that lot is available on request. Buying the kit costs nearly a quarter less than ordering the vial, water, syringes and swabs as separate items. Dispatched from Australia to every Australian state and territory. For in-vitro laboratory research by buyers aged 18 and over only, not for human or veterinary use.

Buy Melanotan II Starter Kit Australia: 10mg Vial with Water and Syringes
Melanocortin receptor research often begins with this compound, because one stable molecule reaches several receptor subtypes. Our kit delivers that molecule as a lot-numbered 10mg vial and puts beside it the three things needed to prepare it: bacteriostatic water in a 3 mL vial, a set of ten fine insulin syringes and twenty swabs. The powder is the same material as our single 10mg vial, released by lot from one controlled supply.
Melanotan II kit contents and what the peptide is
Everything in the carton serves one reconstitution of one vial. The peptide is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide, Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2, built from the core of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone. Natural alpha-MSH is linear and is cleared within minutes; joining the aspartate and lysine side chains into a lactam ring, and swapping in D-phenylalanine and norleucine, produced an analogue that is both far more potent and far longer lasting. With a molecular weight near 1,024, the 10mg fill holds just under ten micromoles. That is enough for binding panels across four subtypes, since one stock can feed MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R assays run in a single session.
Melanocortin signalling: how the Melanotan II kit peptide works
Five melanocortin receptors are known, MC1R to MC5R, and all are G protein coupled receptors that raise cyclic AMP when activated. The cyclic analogue is a non-selective agonist: it binds MC1R on melanocytes, where the signal switches pigment production towards dark eumelanin, and it also reaches MC3R and MC4R in the hypothalamus and MC5R in exocrine tissue. Only MC2R, the adrenal ACTH receptor, is largely left alone. That breadth is exactly why laboratories use it as a reference agonist when comparing peripheral pigment signalling with central melanocortin pathways. Because it reaches four of the five receptors, it also serves as a positive control when newer, more selective ligands are screened.
Melanotan II starter kit research: what the studies show
The design paper appeared in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry in 1989, describing cyclic lactam analogues of alpha-melanotropin shaped with molecular dynamics. Science reported the cloning of the melanocortin receptor family in 1992, which let the analogue be profiled receptor by receptor. Life Sciences carried a small pilot phase I study in 1996. Later papers used it to probe MC4R function in energy balance and central signalling, mostly in rodent models. Summaries sit in the melanocortin analogue research library.
Melanotan II starter kit specifications
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Kit | Melanotan II starter kit |
| Amount | starter kit |
| Form | Research kit |
| Contents | Melanotan II 10mg vial, BAC water 3 mL, 10 × 0.5 mL insulin syringes and 20 alcohol swabs |
| Category | Kits, stacks and value packs |
| Storage | See label |
- Cyclic heptapeptide, 10mg
- Bacteriostatic water vial, 3 mL
- Ten 0.5 mL syringes
- Twenty foil-sealed swabs
The vial carries a printed label with compound, strength, batch and storage temperature, and the batch code retrieves the certificate of analysis. The powder keeps best frozen and dark. The diluent is sterile water preserved with benzyl alcohol, the syringes are single-use and sterile, and every swab is individually wrapped.
Melanotan II kit price against separate parts
| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| Melanotan II starter kit | $99.99 |
Buying the four items as individual listings costs almost a quarter more than the kit. The kit itself costs only about a tenth more than the vial alone, which means the water, ten syringes and twenty swabs come at a small fraction of their separate price. Labs that already hold consumables in bulk may prefer the single vial; for everyone else the bundle is the cheaper route.

Mixing the Melanotan II starter kit vial: water volumes
Concentration here is simply 10 over the millilitres of diluent.
- Entire bottle, 3 mL: 3.33 mg per mL
- 2 mL: 5 mg per mL
- 1.5 mL: 6.67 mg per mL
On a half-millilitre barrel ruled in insulin units, a single line at 5 mg per mL carries 50 micrograms, and at 3.33 mg per mL about 33. The ring structure dissolves readily. Let the diluent run along the vial wall, then turn the vial gently until the liquid is clear and colourless. Receptor assays compare subtypes side by side, so preparing one single-lot stock and drawing every arm from it keeps the comparison fair. If a weaker stock is wanted, extra bacteriostatic water 10mL is sold separately.
Is the Melanotan II starter kit legal in Australia
Only as a research chemical. No ARTG registration or TGA approval of any kind covers the cyclic analogue, so it cannot be sold for tanning, cosmetic or therapeutic purposes. Our supply is limited to adults, 18 or older, doing in-vitro melanocortin work. Scheduling of melanocortin peptides can be specific, so check the current Poisons Standard entry for your organisation.
Melanotan II kit for sale Australia wide: related melanocortin kits
Parcels go from Australian shelves to Cairns, Launceston, Bendigo and the capital cities without any customs step. The single 10mg vial suits labs with their own consumables. For comparison work, the Melanotan 1 starter kit carries the linear MC1R-leaning analogue and the PT-141 starter kit carries its centrally acting relative, with the rest of the range in kits and stacks.
