Product Description
Normal serums are lipid extracted to improve clarity, dialyzed against phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing sodium azide, and freeze dried. Normal serum diluted to 5% (v/v) in PBS is strongly recommended as a blocking reagent to reduce background from non-specific, conserved sequence and/or Fc receptor binding. Best results are obtained with diluted normal serum from the same host as the labeled antibody, as a separate incubation step before addition of the primary antibody.

FAQs of Normal Guinea Pig Serum:
Q: How should Normal Guinea Pig Serum be stored to maintain its stability?
A: This serum should be stored at -20C or below in its original, airtight sterile vial. For best results and long shelf life, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Q: What are the primary applications of Normal Guinea Pig Serum in laboratory research?
A: The serum is commonly used in immunological assays, complement fixation tests, and general laboratory research involving guinea pig immunological properties.
Q: When should I order custom packing sizes of Normal Guinea Pig Serum?
A: You should request custom packing sizes if your research demands volumes other than the standard 10 ml, 20 ml, or 100 ml packaging to avoid unnecessary waste or stock shortages.
Q: Where is the product shipped from and how is shipping handled?
A: Normal Guinea Pig Serum is distributed, imported, and supplied in the United States. It is shipped on dry ice to preserve temperature-sensitive properties during transit.
Q: What process ensures the serums sterility and purity?
A: The serum undergoes sterile filtration through a 0.2 m filter and is processed to achieve a purity of at least 99%, with an endotoxin level below 1 EU/mL, ensuring consistent performance in the lab.
Q: Why is it important to minimize freeze-thaw cycles of the serum?
A: Frequent freeze-thaw cycles can lead to protein degradation and diminished performance in assays, so aliquoting the serum before freezing is recommended for optimal results.
Q: What are the benefits of using Normal Guinea Pig Serum for immunological assays?
A: Its high purity, low endotoxin content, and stable pH ensure reliable results, making it a trusted reagent for sensitive laboratory procedures requiring guinea pig serum.
