How is a solution prepared?
This is how solutions are prepared in the lab.
Step 1 of 8: Disinfect
The stoppers of both vials are wiped with an alcohol swab.
- Disinfect. The stoppers of both vials are wiped with an alcohol swab.
- Draw up. The needle passes through the stopper of the bacteriostatic water and the plunger draws up liquid.
- Transfer. The liquid runs down the inside wall of the vial with powder.
- Mix. The vial is gently swirled until the solution is clear.
- Done. The solution is ready for use in research.
- Take sample. A new needle passes through the stopper and the plunger draws up part of the solution.
- Sample vial. The solution runs through the septum of the screw cap into a sample vial.
- Analyze. The sample vial goes into the autosampler; the instrument measures the solution in vitro.

What is 5-Amino-1MQ?
The name is short for 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium. The molecule is built on quinoline: two fused rings, one of which contains a nitrogen atom. A methyl group on that nitrogen gives it a permanent positive charge, and an amino group sits at position 5.
In the literature, 5-Amino-1MQ has been described as an inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), among others by Neelakantan and colleagues in 2018 in Biochemical Pharmacology. 5-Amino-1MQ is not authorized as a medicine; PubChem lists no authorization and no clinical trial.

Purity and COA for every batch
An external laboratory analyzes every batch: HPLC for purity (≥99%) and mass spectrometry for identity. Because the molecule already carries a charge, it appears in positive mode as the ion itself, at about m/z 159.09, without an extra proton. Look up the COA by batch number on Lab results.
Storage and shipping
Keep the vial closed, dry, cool and dark, following the label and COA. We pack your order in insulated packaging with tracking, with a cold pack in warm weather, and ship from Europe to addresses in the EU. Delivery takes 1–3 working days within Europe. Paid orders that arrive before 3 p.m. Central European time on a working day leave us the same day.
