Buy SS-31 Peptide in Australia
Buy SS-31 in Australia from Macropus Peptides in a priced 10mg vial, with a 50mg vial quoted on request. Also known as elamipretide, it is a four amino acid peptide that concentrates at the inner mitochondrial membrane and binds cardiolipin, which makes it a standard tool in research on respiration, membrane potential and oxidative stress. Each vial holds lyophilised research material, sealed and labelled with compound, fill, lot number and storage temperature, and every lot has a certificate of analysis on request. The 10mg vial covers respirometry runs and cell culture pilots, while the 50mg fill suits longer programmes that must stay on one batch. Order SS-31 online with bacteriostatic water, add NAD+ or MOTS-C for combined mitochondrial designs, and your parcel is dispatched from our Australian shelves to any Australian address. SS-31 is sold to adults for in-vitro laboratory research only and is not for human or veterinary use.

Buy SS-31 Australia: 10mg and 50mg Research Vials
Macropus Peptides supplies this mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide in two fills. Its 10mg vial carries a list price today, whereas the 50mg vial is priced by quote. It is one of the best-characterised peptides in mitochondrial research, and we sell it as lyophilised material for laboratory use. Both fills come from the same supply and differ only in quantity and cost per milligram.
What is SS-31 peptide
SS-31 is a synthetic four amino acid peptide with the sequence D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2, where Dmt stands for 2',6'-dimethyltyrosine and the chain ends in an amide. The D-arginine at the start protects it from enzymes that trim peptides from their ends, and the alternating aromatic and positively charged residues are what let it reach mitochondria. It comes from a series of small peptides introduced in 2004, in a Journal of Biological Chemistry paper, as antioxidants aimed at mitochondria, and in clinical development it carries the non-proprietary name elamipretide.
How SS-31 works in research
Most molecules aimed at mitochondria are lipophilic cations that are drawn in by the membrane voltage. This peptide behaves differently: it enters cells and gathers at the inner mitochondrial membrane without relying on that voltage. There it binds cardiolipin, a lipid found almost only in that membrane, which holds the respiratory chain complexes and cytochrome c in place. When cardiolipin is oxidised or disordered, cytochrome c drifts away from carrying electrons and electron transport becomes less efficient. Binding to cardiolipin is reported to keep the folded inner membrane, the cristae, intact and to preserve cytochrome c function. Researchers therefore use it to study respiration, membrane potential, reactive oxygen species and cristae structure in isolated mitochondria, cultured cells and animal models.
SS-31 research: what the studies show
The founding 2004 paper examined how the peptides enter mitochondria and measured mitochondrial swelling, oxidative cell death and injury in an isolated heart model after blood flow was interrupted and restored. Kidney ischaemia in rats was the model for a 2013 report in JASN, the American Society of Nephrology journal, which added binding assays to examine its interaction with cardiolipin and cytochrome c. A 2014 review in the British Journal of Pharmacology described the cardiolipin mechanism and summarised preclinical and early clinical evaluation. Elamipretide has since been assessed in clinical trials in inherited mitochondrial disease. Each study is summarised in our SS-31 research studies library.
SS-31 vial specifications

Each crimped vial holds the tetrapeptide as a white freeze-dried solid, its label stating name, fill, lot and freezer setting. We pair that lot with its certificate of analysis whenever you ask. Unopened stock belongs in a dark -20 °C freezer. After reconstitution keep the solution cold, at 2 to 8 °C, and avoid freeze and thaw cycles. Being strongly positively charged, it can cling to plastic and glass at very low working concentrations, so final dilutions behave better in low-binding tubes.
SS-31 price in Australia
| Strength | Price | Price per mg |

| SS-31 10mg | $89.99 | $9.00 per mg |
| SS-31 50mg | Price to confirm | - |
Our 10mg mitochondrial peptide vial is sold at a set price in local currency. The 50mg size is quoted individually, with no charge made before you agree to the figure. At five times the content, the larger fill should carry a clearly lower cost per milligram, which matters for long or multi-arm studies.
SS-31 10mg: where to buy in Australia
Most mitochondrial groups start with the priced 10mg vial. It covers respirometry runs, isolated mitochondria experiments and cell culture pilots on a single lot. A 10mg vial taken up in 2 mL holds 5 mg per mL; taken up in 1 mL it holds 10 mg per mL, useful where a stronger stock suits your working dilutions.
SS-31 50mg: bulk fill quoted on request
The 50mg vial is designed for extended programmes and studies with several arms that should all use one batch. Taken up in 5 mL it holds 10 mg per mL; taken up in 10 mL it holds 5 mg per mL, which mirrors the smaller fill in 2 mL. Request a quote and we reply with a price.

SS-31 calculator: bac water and stock strength by vial
Stock concentration equals milligrams in the vial divided by millilitres of diluent. Taken up in 1 mL, 2 mL or 5 mL, the 10mg fill holds 10, 5 or 2 mg per mL respectively. Taken up in 5 mL or 10 mL, the 50mg fill holds 10 or 5 mg per mL. Pair the peptide with bacteriostatic water 10mL in one order, or see alternatives in our lab supplies range.
Is SS-31 available in Australia
Yes, for research. Elamipretide lacks an ARTG listing, and no TGA approval exists for it, so our supply is confined to in-vitro and laboratory work and excludes people and animals. The TGA can amend Poisons Standard scheduling, so check the entry that governs your organisation before you order.
SS-31 for sale Australia wide
We pack mitochondrial orders in Australia and dispatch them to capital cities and regional centres, from Darwin and Hobart to Toowoomba and Albury. For mitochondrial work it is commonly paired with NAD+ and MOTS-C, a ready SS-31 starter kit is listed too, and Glutathione adds a thiol redox readout. Other ageing research compounds fill out our longevity and cognitive range.
