| Storage Conditions | Maintain unopened vial at -70C° for up to 6 months after date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
The rehydrated antibody solutions can be stored undiluted at 2-8C° for 2 months without any significant loss of activity. Note, the solution is not sterile, thus care should be taken if product is stored at 2-8C°.
For storage at -20C°, the addition of an equal volume of glycerol can be used, however, it is recommended that ACS grade or higher glycerol be used, as significant loss of activity can occur if the glycerol used is not of high quality.
For freezing, it is recommended that the rehydrated antibody solution be further diluted 1:1 with a 2% BSA (fraction V, highest-grade available) solution made with the rehydration buffer. The resulting 1% BSA/antibody solution can be aliquoted and stored frozen at -70C° for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. |
