Peptide Conjugate Care and Handling

Peptide Conjugate (Liquid)

We use a 1:1 ratio of peptide to the carrier molecule, supplied at 1mg/mL in PBS (unless otherwise noted). For best results, store at -20°C.

As there is a substantial amount of protein present, aliquotting the material into single-use amounts is not necessary, yet still may be performed as preferred.

The presence of precipitates in the solution (especially for KLH or OVA conjugates) is entirely normal and should not adversely affect the use of the material as an antigen or in your assays.

Peptide Conjugate (Lyophilized)

We use a 1:1 ratio of peptide to the carrier molecule, which is at a concentration of 1mg/1mL in PBS (unless otherwise noted) before lyophilization.

DO NOT WEIGH OUT YOUR CONJUGATE.  Weight is not an accurate measure of vial contents.  To use, reconstitute the entire sample in water, mix well, and remove the portion you need.  The rest of the sample should be stored at -20°C.
