Product Description
Antisera are obtained by injecting host animals with whole serum.
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

A: It is recommended to store the serum at -20C or below. To ensure long-term stability and preserve its immunoreactivity, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Q: What applications is this whole antiserum suitable for?
A: The product is validated for immunoassays such as ELISA, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry, where detection or quantification of rabbit antibodies is required.
Q: When is it appropriate to use this serum in experimental workflows?
A: Use Goat Anti-Rabbit Whole Serum whenever you need a robust secondary antibody for detecting rabbit IgG in immunoassays, especially when high specificity and sensitivity are critical.
Q: Where can researchers obtain this product in the United States?
A: This serum is distributed, imported, supplied, and traded by authorized suppliers in the United States. Please consult a local distributor or the manufacturer for details.
Q: What quality control measures are in place for this product?
A: Each lot undergoes rigorous testing to confirm optimal immunoassay performance, sterile filtration, and purity of at least 95%, ensuring consistency and reproducibility in your experiments.
Q: What is the benefit of using whole antiserum over purified antibodies?
A: Whole antiserum provides a broader range of antibody reactivities, potentially offering enhanced detection in some assays compared to affinity-purified antibodies.
Q: How does the presence of sodium azide affect the handling and disposal of this serum?
A: Sodium azide acts as a preservative, but it requires cautious handling and proper disposal. Always follow institutional safety guidelines due to its potential toxicity to laboratory personnel and the environment.
