5-Amino-1MQ research: overview and resources
What 5-Amino-1MQ research material is, how it is characterized, and where to find every specification, method, lot record and reference 5-Amino-1MQ Research Supply publishes about it.
What is 5-Amino-1MQ?
5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule rather than a peptide, so the checks are simpler but the same in kind: is it the named compound, how pure is it, how much is in the vial. For lot KB-09573, ILS Laboratories reported 99.86% HPLC purity, identity confirmed against a 5-amino-1MQ reference standard, and 52.24 mg in a 50 mg vial, fentanyl not detected.
It is sold in 50 mg vials at $43.99, with a 10-vial researcher pack, through Klow.bio. One detail to note when buying: the certificate does not state the salt form, so weights here are given for the 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium cation.
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 5-Amino-1MQ research material?
5-Amino-1MQ research material is 5-Amino-1MQ supplied for laboratory research (C10H11N2, 159.21 g/mol) in lyophilized powder form, sold by lot. Each lot's identity, purity and net content are documented by an independent laboratory in a published certificate of analysis.
How is 5-Amino-1MQ characterized?
Three questions are answered for every lot, each by a different method:
- Is it the right compound? 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.
- How much of the sample is that compound? HPLC-UV reports the main peak's share of detected peak area. Current lots: 99.86%.
- How much peptide is in the vial? Net content is measured directly.
Endotoxin (LAL) and microbial DNA (PCR) results are added where those tests are run.
What has not been established
A certificate of analysis describes the specific sample tested on its test date. It does not establish stability afterward, sequence order beyond what mass confirmation shows, results for other lots, or suitability for any particular purpose.
