Applications
Suitable for use in Immunoblot (Western or Dot Blot), ELISA, immunoperoxidase electron microscopy and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
ELISA (standard capture): 1:50,000-1:250,000 Western Blot: 1:5000-1:25,000 Immunohistochemistry: 1:1000-1:5000 Optimal dilution determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile dH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Note: Sodium azide is a potent inhibitor of peroxidase and should not be added to HRP conjugates. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
