Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Bioactivity
  • SDS-Page
• Application Notes: Lot Specific Information:
  Given endotoxin and ED50 values are acceptance criteria standards. For lot specific values, please contact technical support.
• Theoretical MW: 22.5 kDa.
  Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Packaging, Storage & Formulations

• Storage: Store at -20 to -70C as supplied. After reconstitution, store at 2 to 8C for 1 month and at -20 to -70C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
• Buffer: Lyophilized from a sterile (0.2 micron) filtered aqueous solution containing 0.1% Trifluoroacetic Acid (TFA)
• Preservative: No Preservative
• Concentration: LYOPH
• Purity: >95%, by SDS-PAGE
• Reconstitution Instructions: Sterile water at 0.1 mg/mL. If a precipitate is observed, centrifuge the solution thoroughly and use only the soluble fraction (removing it from the precipitate). A 10% overfill has been added to compensate for any loss of protein in the precipitate.
