Crossreactivity (%):
Leu5-Enkephalin: 100
Met5-Enkephalin: 0.93
beta-Endorphin: 0.01
beta-Lipotropin: 0.01
Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
