Product Description
Based on immunoelectrophoresis, the antibody reacts with whole molecule rat IgG. It also reacts with the light chains of other rat 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.

FAQs of Goat Anti-Rat IgG (H+L):
Q: How should Goat Anti-Rat IgG (H+L) be stored for maximum stability?
A: For optimal stability, store the antibody at 2-8C for short-term use. For long-term storage, it is best kept at -20C. This ensures the antibody maintains its activity and minimizes degradation.
Q: What applications is this secondary antibody suitable for?
A: Goat Anti-Rat IgG (H+L) is suitable for ELISA, Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. It facilitates sensitive detection of rat IgG in a variety of immunoassays.
Q: When should I use this secondary antibody over others?
A: This antibody is ideal when high specificity to rat IgG is required, especially in assays with potential exposure to other species immunoglobulins. Its minimal cross-reactivity reduces background interference from human, mouse, rabbit, or bovine IgGs.
Q: Where can I purchase Goat Anti-Rat IgG (H+L), and in which sizes is it available?
A: This product is available through a range of distributors, importers, suppliers, and traders in the United States. It comes in packaging sizes of 0.5 mL, 1 mL, and bulk quantities to accommodate different experimental needs.
Q: What are the recommended working dilutions for this antibody?
A: For ELISA, dilutions of 1:1000 to 1:5000 are recommended. For Western blot and immunohistochemistry, use between 1:500 and 1:2000. Always optimize dilutions based on your specific protocol and detection system.
Q: How does this antibody ensure minimal cross-reactivity in experiments?
A: The antibody is specifically tested to have minimal cross-reactivity with human, mouse, rabbit, and bovine IgG, making it highly selective for rat IgG and advantageous in experiments involving multiple species.
Q: What documentation is provided with the product to support research requirements?
A: A certificate of analysis detailing the quality and specifications of the antibody is available upon request, ensuring compliance and traceability in research documentation.
