Preparation and Storage

  • Stability and Storage

    Shipped at 4°C. Upon delivery aliquot and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze / thaw cycles.

    This product is an active protein and may elicit a biological response in vivo, handle with caution.

  • Reconstitution
    Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml in sterile 20 mM acetic acid as the protein maintains stability in acid solutions at high concentrations. Then dilute the stock solution in aqueous buffer of choice and stored at 4°C for 1 week or –20°C for future use.

Answer

Thank you for contacting us last week and your interest in our products.

As you have noticed on the datasheet of the BMP6 protein (ab51760), we recommend initially reconstituting to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml in sterile 20 mM acetic acid. We recommend the acetic acid for initial reconstitution of this BMP6, since the protein maintains its stability in acidic solutions at higher concentrations. You can then dilute this stock in any aqueous buffer of your choice, such as PBS.

We would not recommend you to dilute the stock in PBS directly if you hope to use it for protein for activity assays.

I hope this information has been of help. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to let me know.
