INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
-
- For lyophilized antibodies: Add recommended volume of Immuno Diluent & Block and store in refrigerator at 2-8°C for 4 years. For prolonged shelf life beyond 4 years, dilute in Immuno Diluent & Block and aliquot and freeze in -20°C freezer.
- For liquid concentrate antibodies: Dilute by dilution factor recommended for the immunoassay of interest. Diluted antibodies and Immuno Diluent & Block are stable in refrigerator for 4 years. For prolonged shelf life beyond 4 years, aliquot and freeze in -20°C freezer.
- For continuous use: Dilute antibodies in Cyto-Q Immuno Diluent & Block and store in refrigerator at 2-8°C. For extended storage over 4 years, aliquot in small volumes and freeze at -20°C.
NOTES:
For best results do NOT thaw and freeze antibodies more than once. Antibodies lose activity upon repeated freezing and thawing.
