How should I aliquot my antibody?

In order to avoid repeat freeze thaw cycles, Novus recommends aliquotting the antibody prior to storage below freezing. Aliquots should be no smaller than 20 ul as the antibody can absorb into the sides of the vials. Alternatively, you may dilute the contents with a solution containing 1:2 – 1:20 BSA. The additional proteins act to stabilize the antibody solution. Before diluting the antibody for storage, however, the diluent should be sterile filtered to retard microbial growth.
