Product Description
Based on immunoelectrophoresis, the antibody reacts with whole molecule rabbit IgG. It also reacts with the light chains of other rabbit immunoglobulins. No antibody was detected against non-immunoglobulin serum proteins. The antibody may cross-react with immunoglobulins from other species.
Physical State: Freeze-dried solid Storage: Store freeze-dried powder at 2-8°C. When ready to use, rehydrate with indicated volume of d. water and centrifuge if not clear. Product is stable for about 6 weeks at 2-8°C as an undiluted liquid. Prepare working dilution fresh each day. For extended storage after rehydration, aliquot and freeze undiluted product at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Expiration date: one year from date of rehydration. However, the expiration date may be extended if the product is stored according to the recommendation and the test results are acceptable for its intended use.
Purity: The antibody was delipidated and ammonium sulfate fractionated from whole antiserum. Buffer: 0.01M Sodium Phosphate, 0.25M NaCl, pH 7.6 Preservative: 0.05% Sodium Azide

FAQs of Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L):
Q: How should Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) be stored to maintain optimal performance?
A: For short-term storage, keep the antibody at 28C. For long-term preservation, it is best stored at 20C. These conditions help retain antibody stability and extend shelf life up to 12 months.
Q: What are the recommended dilutions for using this antibody in Western Blot and ELISA applications?
A: For Western Blot, a dilution ratio of 1:10001:10000 is recommended. For ELISA, use a dilution between 1:200 and 1:1000. Exact dilutions might vary depending on specific experimental conditions.
Q: When is it beneficial to choose conjugated versus unconjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L)?
A: Conjugated antibodies (e.g., with HRP or FITC) simplify detection steps and are ideal for direct signal visualization in immunoassays. Unconjugated forms are useful when a customized or multi-step detection system is required.
Q: Where is this antibody most commonly used in research?
A: This secondary antibody is widely utilized in research laboratories for immunoassays such as Western Blot, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry to detect rabbit IgG in samples.
Q: How does this product ensure specificity and quality in experimental applications?
A: This antibody is polyclonal and generated against purified rabbit IgG, offering high specificity. It is also purified to greater than 95%, minimizing cross-reactivity and ensuring reliable results in detection systems.
Q: What safety considerations are associated with this antibody?
A: The formulation contains 0.02% sodium azide as a preservative and should be handled with appropriate laboratory precautions. It is non-poisonous and odorless, designed for safe laboratory use, but strictly for research and not for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
