Application Details

Application Notes: Each Investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Buffer: 10 mM PBS, pH 7.5, with 0.05 % NaN3.

Preservative: Sodium azide

Precaution of Use: WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.

Handling Advice: Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Storage: 4 °C/-20 °C

Storage Comment: Store at 4 °C for short term storage. Aliquot and store at -20 °C for long term storage.
