Description
This oxytocin nasal spray supplies oxytocin, a cyclic nonapeptide hormone (molecular formula C43H66N12O12S2, molecular weight 1007.19 g/mol), as a ready-to-use intranasal solution for laboratory research. Oxytocin is made in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary, and in published work it is studied in the context of social behavior, lactation physiology, and oxytocin-receptor signaling. The peptide is cyclized by a single disulfide bridge between its two cysteine residues.
Oxytocin nasal spray in research settings
The intranasal route is itself a research subject: nasal delivery is used to study mucosal peptide absorption and nose-to-brain transport, since the olfactory and trigeminal pathways can reach the central nervous system. Supplied as a pre-calibrated metered spray, the format removes the mixing and syringe steps that add variability to powder-based work. Each actuation delivers a consistent volume, with a coefficient of variation under 5% across the bottle, which supports reproducible intranasal oxytocin research. The batch ships with an HPLC chromatogram and mass-spectrum identity confirmation.

Oxytocin nasal spray storage and handling
Keep the sealed bottle refrigerated at 2 to 8 C and out of direct light, where the solution stays stable for about 12 months. Let a refrigerated bottle reach room temperature, then prime the pump until a fine mist appears. Oxytocin is sensitive to heat and light, so avoid long periods at room temperature. Good oxytocin nasal spray storage means logging each actuation to keep a clean research record.
Frequently asked questions
What is oxytocin?
Oxytocin is a nine-amino-acid cyclic peptide hormone (CAS 50-56-6) produced in the hypothalamus. It acts on the oxytocin receptor and is studied in research on reproduction, lactation, and social behavior. This product is the peptide in a research-grade intranasal spray, not a medicine.
How should oxytocin nasal spray be stored?
Store the sealed bottle at 2 to 8 C, away from direct light. Under these conditions the metered spray solution stays stable for about 12 months. Keep it out of reach of children and label it clearly as a research material, not for consumption.
What purity is oxytocin nasal spray?
Every batch is verified at 99% or higher purity by HPLC, with molecular identity confirmed by mass spectrometry at an independent ISO 17025-accredited laboratory. A batch-specific certificate of analysis ships with each order so you can check the numbers against your own standards.
Is oxytocin nasal spray for human use?
No, oxytocin nasal spray is sold for laboratory research use only and is not for human or veterinary consumption. It is not a drug or supplement and has not been evaluated by the FDA. Handle it under standard laboratory safety practice.
