Reconstitution
- Centrifuge the vial (10,000 x g for 5 minutes) before adding solvent to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Gently tap, tilt, and roll the vial to aid dissolution. Avoid vigorous vortexing, light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. The product is lyophilized in 0.5 mL conical vial. The product is soluble in pure water to high-micromolar concentrations (5 μM - 1 mM). For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in double distilled water (ddH2O) at a concentration between 100-1000x of the final working concentration. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20 °C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. Centrifuge all product preparations before use. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain biological activity. Avoid exposure to light.

Background
- α-CTx ImI, alpha-conotoxin ImI, Alpha-CTx ImI,α-Conotoxin ImI is a 12 amino acid peptidyl toxin isolated from Conus Imperialis venom1, which blocks mammalian neuronal nAChRs located on postsynaptic membranes. This toxin inhibits mammalian neuronal nAChRs (α3/β2 > α7 > α3/β4) in a voltage-independent manner and has no effect on nAChRs composed of α2/β2, α3/β2, α4/β2, α2/β4, α3/β4, or α4/β4 subunits1,2.
