MOTS-c is a 16-residue peptide (2174.62 g/mol) with two methionines and a tryptophan, which is why storage and testing date both matter when you buy it. The current lot, KB-44745, was tested by ILS Laboratories: 99.90% HPLC purity, identity confirmed against a reference standard, 10.71 mg in a 10 mg vial, fentanyl screen negative.
MOTS-c is offered in 10 mg and 40 mg vials at $39.99 to $119.99 through Klow.bio. Sizes without a published lot are marked as such on this site rather than borrowing another size's certificate.
The sequence has two methionines (positions 1 and 6) and one tryptophan (position 3), the residues most prone to oxidation, so MOTS-c is best kept dry, sealed and away from light. Arg2, Arg13, Lys14 and Arg16 make it strongly basic. Two tyrosines and a phenylalanine add UV absorbance at 214 nm and 280 nm.
MOTS-c is supplied as a lyophilized powder in 10 mg and 40 mg vials. It is sold through klow.bio, operated by Klow Labs LLC, where current pricing, bundle discounts and shipping options are listed. Orders ship the next business day. Same-day cutoff is 4:00 PM CT, with overnight and 2-day options at checkout.

MOTS-c Research Supply publishes lot-specific analytical documentation for its MOTS-c research material. Each item below is published for every lot and can be checked against the laboratory record.
Every lot is tested by ILS Laboratories, an independent analytical laboratory. Published results come from the laboratory's certificate, not in-house testing.
Every lot's certificate is published as a PDF, with the chromatogram behind the purity figure, alongside a readable lot record.
The laboratory runs the sample and a reference standard of the named compound under the same HPLC conditions; identity is confirmed when the main peak elutes at the reference standard’s retention time. The method is named on every lot record, so it is clear what the result does and does not establish.
Current lots test at 99.90% by HPLC-UV, well above the ≥95% release specification, with net content measured on every lot.
Every certificate carries the laboratory's QR code. You can confirm results directly with the lab instead of taking our copy on trust.
Lots without endotoxin or microbial testing say "Not tested". Each certificate page explains what the tests do and don't establish.
MOTS-c Research Supply is built around five things: a dedicated MOTS-c focus, a controlled supply chain, independent analytical testing, lot-level transparency and current availability. Each reason below links to the evidence. See the full quality and supply-chain process.
One compound, not a catalog of unrelated products.
Material sourced through qualified manufacturing partners.
≥95% HPLC-UV purity with identity confirmed by HPLC retention-time match against a reference standard.
Every lot tested by ILS Laboratories, with the results shown.
A public record for every lot, with dates and laboratory reference numbers.
The laboratory certificate for each lot.

The questions worth asking any supplier of MOTS-c research material, why each one matters, and how MOTS-c Research Supply answers them.
| What to check | Why it matters | MOTS-c Research Supply |
|---|---|---|
| Independent third-party testing | Results produced by the seller can't be checked independently. | ✓ Every lot tested by ILS Laboratories |
| Lot-specific certificates | A generic certificate may not describe the vial you receive. | ✓ Each COA tied to the lot number on the vial label |
| Chromatogram available | A purity figure without the trace behind it can't be evaluated. | ✓ In the certificate PDF for every lot |
| Separate identity test | HPLC purity shows how much of the sample is the main peak, not which compound the peak is. | ✓ HPLC retention-time match on every lot |
| Measured net content | Confirms how much peptide is actually in the vial. | ✓ Measured on every lot; current lots at or above label size |
| Contaminant screening | Checks for a specific contaminant the laboratory screens for. | ✓ Fentanyl screen on every current lot: not detected |
| Verifiable with the lab | Prevents altered or reused certificates. | ✓ Lab QR code on every certificate |
| Named company and contact | Accountability requires a real business you can reach. | ✓ Klow Labs LLC, Chicago; (708) 262-7687 |

Testing laboratory: ILS Laboratories. Release specification: purity ≥95% by HPLC-UV with identity confirmed by HPLC retention-time match against a reference standard. Results apply only to the lot listed. Certificates list the testing client as Klow.bio / Klow Labs LLC, the company that operates MOTS-c Research Supply.
The current lot tested at 99.90% by HPLC-UV. Lot-to-lot comparisons will appear here as further lots are tested.
Measured net content was at or above the labeled vial size for every current lot: 10.71 mg in a 10 mg vial.
A purity figure says the sample is homogeneous; it does not say which compound the main peak is. That is answered by a separate identity test: HPLC retention-time comparison with a reference standard (HPLC-RTM).
The laboratory runs the sample and a reference standard of the named compound under the same HPLC conditions; identity is confirmed when the main peak elutes at the reference standard’s retention time. A retention-time match is consistent with the named compound under the laboratory’s method. It is not a mass measurement, which is why the method is always named next to the result.

Four methods appear on MOTS-c certificates. Each answers a different question, and none answers every question on its own, which is why they are used together.
Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography separates the sample's components by hydrophobicity, and a UV detector records each as a peak. Purity is the main peak's area as a percentage of all detected peak area.
Limits: does not identify the peak, and impurities that co-elute or absorb weakly in UV can be under-counted. More on HPLC
The laboratory runs the sample and a reference standard of MOTS-c under the same chromatographic conditions. Identity is reported as confirmed when the sample’s main peak elutes at the reference standard’s retention time.
Limits: a retention-time match is consistent with the named compound but is not a mass or structure measurement; compounds with similar retention can co-elute. More on HPLC
The laboratory screens each lot by immunoassay at the cutoff printed on the certificate. Current lots are reported as not detected.
Limits: a negative result means below the cutoff for the sample tested; an immunoassay screens for its target only.
The laboratory quantifies the main compound in the tested vial against a standard. It is reported in milligrams next to the labeled vial size.
Limits: measured on the vial tested; other vials from the same lot are expected to be similar but are not individually measured.
