SS-31, also referenced in the research literature as elamipretide, is a synthetic aromatic cationic tetrapeptide studied for its association with cardiolipin, a phospholipid concentrated in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Research interest centers on mitochondrial bioenergetics, specifically how the compound's interaction with cardiolipin relates to electron transport chain organization and oxidative stress markers in cellular and animal model systems. SS-31 appears across published research spanning cardiac, skeletal muscle, renal, and neurodegeneration model systems, which is part of why it remains a frequently requested compound among laboratories working on mitochondrial function.
For researchers already familiar with SS-31's place in the literature, selecting a supplier comes down to a narrower question: can the identity and purity of the material be verified before it reaches the bench. That documentation and sourcing question, not a claim about what the compound does, is what this page addresses.
A tetrapeptide is a small molecule, but synthesis quality still varies meaningfully across suppliers, and trace impurities or degradation products can introduce confounding variables into a research dataset before an experiment even starts. Two things matter most when qualifying a source:
Without both, there is no reliable way to know whether a given batch is research grade or whether it is quietly compromising downstream results.
A Certificate of Analysis (COA) ties a specific batch to its test results. Before treating any COA as sufficient, check that it includes:
A COA that is generic, undated, or not tied to a specific batch number is not a meaningful verification. It is marketing collateral.
Nordiscience sources SS-31 under GMP-following manufacturing protocols and independently verifies each batch through third-party lab testing. A Certificate of Analysis is available on request for every batch sold, including HPLC purity data and mass spectrometry identity confirmation, so researchers can verify what they are receiving before it reaches the bench.
Beyond the compound itself, Nordiscience is built around the practical friction points that slow down research procurement: standard credit card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay checkout (no crypto-only paywalls), fast US shipping, and a support team reachable by email or WhatsApp for sourcing or documentation questions.
Request a Certificate of Analysis for any current batch, or reach out with sourcing questions, at info@nordiscience.com or via WhatsApp (Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM Mountain Time).
