Conjugate:Unconjugated
Product Category:Normal Serums and Gamma Globulins
RRID:AB_2721843
Information
Normal serums are lipid extracted to improve clarity, dialyzed against phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing sodium azide, and freeze dried. Normal serum diluted to 5% (v/v) in PBS is strongly recommended as a blocking reagent to reduce background from non-specific, conserved sequence and/or Fc receptor binding. Best results are obtained with diluted normal serum from the same host as the labeled antibody, as a separate incubation step before addition of the primary antibody.
Usage
Physical State:Freeze-dried solid
Storage and Rehydration:Store freeze-dried solid at 2-8°C. Rehydrate with the indicated volume of dH2O (see product specification sheet) and centrifuge if not clear. Prepare working dilution on day of use. Product is stable for about 6 weeks at 2-8°C as an undiluted liquid.
Extended Storage after Rehydration:Aliquot and freeze undiluted product at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Expiration date:one year from date of rehydration. The expiration date may be extended if test results are acceptable for the intended use.
Buffer:0.01M Sodium Phosphate, 0.25M NaCl, pH 7.6
Preservative:0.05% Sodium Azide
Suggested Working Concentration or Dilution Range:
For blocking purposes, use 5% (v/v) solution (1:20 dilution from rehydrated volume). Rehydration according to instruction yields 99% serum.
