What is SkQ1?
SkQ1 is plastoquinone linked to a triphenylphosphonium ion, developed by Vladimir Skulachev’s group at Moscow State University. The positive charge pulls it into mitochondria.
It’s sold here as the bromide.

Measuring SkQ1 liquid
SkQ1 liquid is pre-dissolved at 100mg/mL, which makes measuring simple: you work in volumes instead of weighing tiny amounts of powder.
Use a clean graduated pipette or dropper for each draw so nothing goes back into the bottle. Shake gently first, because some solutions settle over time. We stock transfer pipettes and dropper bottles if you need them.
Making working dilutions of SkQ1
If your protocol calls for a lower concentration, dilute a measured volume into a clean glass bottle. For example, 1mL of the 100mg/mL solution plus 1mL of carrier gives 2mL at 50mg/mL. Use the same carrier where possible, or a solvent your protocol allows, and mix gently.
Make up only what you’ll use in the short term, and label the new bottle with the concentration and date.
Purity testing for SkQ1
Every batch of SkQ1 is checked with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) before it goes on sale. LC-MS separates a sample into its parts and identifies each one by mass, so it confirms what the compound is and how much of the sample it makes up. The current batch tested at 99% or higher.
Small differences between batches are normal, so write the batch number from the label into your records. If something looks wrong when your order arrives, like discoloured powder or a cloudy solution, set it aside and don’t use it.
Storage and handling
Store it frozen, at -10°C or colder. Keep the cap tight so the solution doesn’t evaporate or pick up contaminants. Label anything you decant with the compound, amount and date, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
