Technical Data
A0700
Acrolein, Conjugated
Description:
Acrolein is the simplest unsaturated aldehyde. It is produced widely but is most often immediately reacted with other products due to its instability and toxicity. It has a piercing, disagreeable, acrid smell similar to that of burning fat.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunohistochemistry and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilutions:
ELISA: 1:5000-1:10,000
Immunohistochemistry: 1:500-1:1000
Western Blot: 1:1000-1:2000
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Specificity:
Using a conjugate Acrolein-Protein, antibody specificity was performed with an ELISA test by competition experiments with the following compounds:

Compound Crossreactivity ratio(a)
Acrolein-BSA 1
Malondialdehyde-BSA 1/55
Glyoxal-BSA 1/>50,000
Formaldehyde-BSA 1/>50,000
Glutaraldehyde-BSA 1/>50,000

(a): Acrolein-BSA concentration/unconjugated or conjugated analogs concentration at half displacement.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
