What is Oxytocin?
Influences social cognition, trust, anxiety reduction, pain perception, and gut function.
Listed vial contents: 10mg. These are supplied quantities, not administration doses. Current pricing and availability are shown in the strength selector.
What mechanisms are being studied?
Oxytocin is a 9-amino acid cyclic neuropeptide that functions as both a hormone (released from posterior pituitary) and a neurotransmitter. It binds oxytocin receptors (OXTR) widely distributed throughout the brain and peripheral tissues. Known as the 'bonding hormone,' it modulates social cognition, trust, empathy, anxiety, pain perception, gut function, and cardiovascular tone.
What are the research questions?
- Labor induction / postpartum hemorrhage: FDA-approved as Pitocin® — one of the most widely used obstetric medications.
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD): Intranasal oxytocin has shown improvements in social cognition, eye contact, and emotional recognition.
- Anxiety and stress disorders: Reduces amygdala activation and HPA axis stress response.
- Pain management: Modulates pain perception through both central and spinal mechanisms.
- Gut function: OXTR expression in the GI tract; studied for IBS and functional GI disorders.
What does the published work describe?
FDA-approved as Pitocin® with decades of obstetric use. Guastella AJ et al. (Biol Psychiatry 2010) — Improved emotional recognition in ASD. Domes G et al. (Biol Psychiatry 2007) — Reduced amygdala activation to threatening stimuli. MacDonald K, MacDonald TM (Harvard Rev Psychiatry 2010) — Comprehensive review.
What are the limits of this evidence?
The research described concerns the cited experimental materials and models, not proof that this supplied vial is a treatment. Cell or animal findings do not establish human benefits. Clinical findings, where cited, apply to the tested formulation and population; they do not validate this research product for human use.

How should I check lot documentation?
Match the product, strength and lot to an original analysis document. Literature describes experimental findings; it does not verify the contents of this inventory. A report is evidence only for the product, strength and lot it names.
How is Oxytocin handled in the lab?
For Oxytocin, record the product code OXY, selected strength and lot before opening. Follow the material-specific safety data sheet and laboratory SOP, with appropriate gloves, eye protection and containment. For a documented dry preparation, let the sealed vial equilibrate before opening to reduce condensation; minimize time open and use clean, compatible vessels.
Choose a solvent for Oxytocin from the documented sequence or chemical identity, salt form and assay requirements. Test a small portion first and record pH, solvent composition and clarity. Do not assume one diluent works for every research material; include a solvent-only control and establish compatibility before using the stock in an assay.
For Oxytocin, calculate mass concentration as measured material mass divided by final solution volume. Calculate molarity only with a documented molecular weight for the supplied chemical form; the catalog lists 1007.19 g/mol as a reference, not lot confirmation. Where available, use matched-lot net content rather than treating chromatographic purity as a mass correction. Record both stock concentration and subsequent dilution factors.
Use the documented storage conditions for the supplied Oxytocin form and lot. For a documented lyophilized preparation, keep the vial sealed and protected from moisture; for solutions, validate temperature, light exposure and holding time in the assay. Use compatible single-use aliquots when appropriate to reduce repeated freeze-thaw. No universal temperature or 28-day solution shelf life is established by the catalog name.
A Oxytocin laboratory protocol should record identity, product code OXY, strength, lot, applicable analysis results, solvent and pH, stock concentration, dilution sequence, vessel type, storage history and assay endpoints. Include vehicle and reference controls, independent replicates and predefined acceptance criteria. Separate handling validation from biological interpretation; these notes do not provide administration or dosing instructions.
Research Use Only. Not for human consumption, therapeutic, veterinary or any in-vivo use.

Quality & Verification
Oxytocin has a catalog purity specification of ≥99%; this is not a measured result for every vial. Match the product, exact strength, batch and lot to its analysis record and read only the reported fields. HPLC peak-area purity, measured content and endotoxin are separate measurements. A blank field means no result is reported, not zero or passed. A purity percentage alone does not establish identity, sterility or suitability for human use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Oxytocin?
Oxytocin is listed for reproductive laboratory research. Catalog vial contents are 10mg; select the required strength before ordering. This material is supplied for Research Use Only, not as a medicine or a product for human or veterinary use.
What strengths of Oxytocin are available?
The catalog lists 10mg. These labels describe vial contents, not administration doses. Select the required strength for current pricing and availability; match analysis records to that exact strength and lot.
How should I interpret Oxytocin purity results?
Oxytocin has a catalog purity specification of ≥99%; this is not a measured result for every vial. Match the product, exact strength, batch and lot to its analysis record and read only the reported fields. HPLC peak-area purity, measured content and endotoxin are separate measurements. A blank field means no result is reported, not zero or passed. A purity percentage alone does not establish identity, sterility or suitability for human use.
How should Oxytocin be handled in the laboratory?

How do I choose a laboratory solvent for Oxytocin?
Choose a solvent for Oxytocin from the documented sequence or chemical identity, salt form and assay requirements. Test a small portion first and record pH, solvent composition and clarity. Do not assume one diluent works for every research material; include a solvent-only control and establish compatibility before using the stock in an assay.
How do I calculate a Oxytocin stock concentration?
For Oxytocin, calculate mass concentration as measured material mass divided by final solution volume. Calculate molarity only with a documented molecular weight for the supplied chemical form; the catalog lists 1007.19 g/mol as a reference, not lot confirmation. Where available, use matched-lot net content rather than treating chromatographic purity as a mass correction. Record both stock concentration and subsequent dilution factors.
How should Oxytocin be stored after preparation?
Use the documented storage conditions for the supplied Oxytocin form and lot. For a documented lyophilized preparation, keep the vial sealed and protected from moisture; for solutions, validate temperature, light exposure and holding time in the assay. Use compatible single-use aliquots when appropriate to reduce repeated freeze-thaw. No universal temperature or 28-day solution shelf life is established by the catalog name.
What should a Oxytocin lab protocol document?
A Oxytocin laboratory protocol should record identity, product code OXY, strength, lot, applicable analysis results, solvent and pH, stock concentration, dilution sequence, vessel type, storage history and assay endpoints. Include vehicle and reference controls, independent replicates and predefined acceptance criteria. Separate handling validation from biological interpretation; these notes do not provide administration or dosing instructions.
Does Fmoc or Boc synthesis explain this Oxytocin product?
Fmoc and Boc are peptide protecting-group strategies, not proof of how this Oxytocin lot was made. For sequence-defined peptides, synthesis review can examine deletion products, incomplete deprotection and modifications using the method and matching analytical evidence. A single chromatographic peak does not by itself establish sequence.
Is Oxytocin for human use?
No. Oxytocin is strictly Research Use Only. It is not intended for human or veterinary use, diagnosis or treatment. Laboratory handling guidance is not an administration protocol.
Research Use Only. This product is intended for licensed laboratory research and is not for human or veterinary use.
