Buy SS-31 Starter Kit in Australia
Buy the SS-31 starter kit in Australia from Macropus Peptides: a 10mg vial of lyophilised SS-31, also known as elamipretide, together with a 3 mL vial of bacteriostatic water, ten 0.5 mL insulin syringes and twenty alcohol swabs. SS-31 is a four residue, cell-permeable peptide that concentrates on the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it binds the phospholipid cardiolipin, and it is a standard tool in mitochondrial bioenergetics research. Bought as a kit, the vial, water, syringes and swabs cost less than the same four items ordered separately. The vial label carries its lot number, and the certificate of analysis for that lot is available on request. Order online and your kit is dispatched from local Australian stock to any Australian address, for adults purchasing for in-vitro laboratory research only, not for human or veterinary use.

Buy SS-31 Starter Kit Australia: 10mg Mitochondrial Peptide Kit
Mitochondrial research groups use this tetrapeptide to probe the inner membrane directly. Here the cardiolipin-binding tetrapeptide comes as a 10mg fill, packed beside preserved water, syringes and swabs so bioenergetics labs can open, dissolve and sample on arrival.
SS-31: a peptide that goes to the mitochondria
Most peptides struggle to cross cell membranes. This one, with the sequence D-Arg, dimethyl-Tyr, Lys, Phe-amide, alternates aromatic and positively charged residues, a pattern that lets it enter cells and gather at the inner mitochondrial membrane. There it binds cardiolipin, the phospholipid that anchors the electron transport chain and cytochrome c. Because cardiolipin is found almost nowhere else in the cell, the peptide gives researchers an unusually specific handle on inner membrane structure, respiration and the release of cytochrome c under oxidative stress. Its clinical code name is elamipretide. The SS-31 vial listing covers the stand-alone vial.
What SS-31 research has examined
The Journal of Biological Chemistry described the peptide family in 2004, measuring mitochondrial uptake and oxidative cell death. A 2013 paper in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology examined cardiolipin binding after ischaemia in animals, and the British Journal of Pharmacology reviewed the mechanism in 2014. A 2018 Neurology trial in primary mitochondrial myopathy measured tolerability and exercise capacity. See the SS-31 research studies library.
SS-31 kit specifications per order
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Kit | SS-31 starter kit |
| Amount | starter kit |
| Form | Research kit |
| Contents | SS-31 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 |
- Lyophilised peptide, 10mg, crimp-sealed and lot-labelled
- Preserved diluent: 3 mL bacteriostatic water
- 10 syringes with 0.5 mL barrels
- 20 alcohol swabs
Making up SS-31 10mg
Elamipretide at 10mg: one millilitre gives 10 mg per mL, two give 5 mg per mL, two and a half give 4 mg per mL. The syringe barrel reads to 0.01 mL across fifty marks, half a millilitre in total. Order more bacteriostatic water if a second stock is planned.
SS-31 price and kit value
| Option | Price |

| SS-31 starter kit | $108.99 |
Ordered as four loose catalogue lines, elamipretide, diluent, syringes and swabs cost more than this kit. Loose boxes do leave spare consumables for a second vial, which suits laboratories planning repeat orders. The separate route leaves spare syringes and swabs; the kit is sized to one vial.
SS-31 storage and handling
Before mixing, dry elamipretide waits at -20 °C in its closed carton. After mixing, refrigerate between 2 and 8 °C. As a highly charged peptide it can cling to some plastics, so many laboratories prepare stock in low-binding tubes.
Buy SS-31 in Australia: legal position
Each kit leaves us strictly as in-vitro research material. There is no ARTG listing for this peptide in Australia, and the TGA's Poisons Standard is where its scheduling would be recorded.
Order SS-31 online, Australia wide
Kits dispatch from Australian stock to all states. Bioenergetics projects frequently add the NAD+ starter kit or the longevity stack; other combinations appear in kits and stacks.
