Product
What is 5-Amino-1MQ?
5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule quinolinium compound. 5-Amino-1MQ Research Supply supplies it as a lyophilized powder in 50 mg vials, with an independent certificate of analysis for every lot.
What is 5-Amino-1MQ research material?
5-Amino-1MQ research material is 5-Amino-1MQ supplied for laboratory research, sold by lot, with each lot's identity, purity and net content documented by an independent laboratory in a published certificate of analysis.
What does "5-Amino-1MQ" mean?
Because the molecule is a cation, it is always supplied as a salt with a counterion, commonly iodide (C10H11IN2, 286.11 g/mol). The certificate does not state the counterion, so the formula and weight shown here are for the cation itself.
What is the molecular formula and weight of 5-Amino-1MQ?
The molecular formula (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium cation) is C10H11N2 and the average molecular weight is 159.21 g/mol.
How should 5-Amino-1MQ be stored?
Store sealed, dry and protected from light at the temperature stated on the vial label. Allow a cold vial to reach room temperature before opening.
What should I check before buying 5-Amino-1MQ?
That the certificate names 5-Amino-1MQ, the HPLC purity against the stated specification, the identity method, the measured net content, and that the lot number on your vial matches a published lot. All of these are on this site.
How do I order 5-Amino-1MQ?
Choose a size on the 5-Amino-1MQ page at Klow.bio (https://klow.bio/product/5-amino-1mq/) and check out there. Then match your vial's lot number on the verify page here.
Testing and quality
How is 5-Amino-1MQ analyzed?
5-Amino-1MQ is analyzed with complementary methods: HPLC-UV for purity, HPLC-RTM for identity, a quantitative measurement for net content, and, where listed, LAL endotoxin and PCR microbial testing. Results are published per lot at buy5amino.com/coa/.
Who tests 5-Amino-1MQ?
Every lot is tested by ILS Laboratories, an independent third-party analytical laboratory. 5-Amino-1MQ Research Supply does not test its own material for published certificates.
What purity does 5-Amino-1MQ test at?
Current lots report HPLC-UV purity 99.86%, against a stated release specification of ≥95%. The most recent result is 99.86% for lot KB-09573.
How is the identity of 5-Amino-1MQ confirmed?
By HPLC retention-time comparison with a reference standard (HPLC-RTM), performed by ILS Laboratories on every lot. 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.
Is 5-Amino-1MQ tested for endotoxin?
Endotoxin and microbial testing are reported per lot. Every lot page in the COA archive states whether those tests were performed.
What is HPLC testing, and what does the purity percentage mean?
HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) separates a sample's components so each appears as a peak. The purity percentage is the main peak's share of all UV-detected peak area. It does not confirm identity (the separate HPLC-RTM test does) or measure the amount of compound in the vial (net content does).
Certificates of analysis
What is a 5-Amino-1MQ COA?
A 5-Amino-1MQ certificate of analysis is the testing laboratory's report for one lot: the lot number, test dates, methods and results for purity, identity and net content. 5-Amino-1MQ Research Supply publishes every lot's COA as a readable page at buy5amino.com/coa/.
Where can I find the COA for my vial?
Find the lot number printed on your vial label and enter it at buy5amino.com/verify/, or open that lot in the COA archive at buy5amino.com/coa/.
How do I confirm a COA with the laboratory?
Go to portal.ils-lab.com (or scan the QR code on the certificate) and enter the lot's verification access code, listed on its lot page, to view the laboratory's own copy of the certificate.
Why is the measured net content different from the vial size?
Net content is the laboratory's measurement of peptide in the tested vial. Current lots measured 52.24 mg in a 50 mg vial.
Buying 5-Amino-1MQ
Where can I buy 5-Amino-1MQ?
