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.
High Specificity for Goat ImmunoglobulinsRabbit Anti-Goat Whole Serum is meticulously produced to ensure high specificity for goat immunoglobulins. It is validated not to cross-react with human, bovine, mouse, or horse IgGs, enhancing the accuracy of your results in immunodetection assays. Each batch undergoes stringent ELISA and Western blot testing to confirm performance and consistency.
Versatile Applications in ResearchThis antibody serves as an effective secondary antibody for various immunodetection techniques including ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunohistochemistry. Its whole IgG fraction provides reliable detection, making it essential for researchers working with goat primary antibodies.

It is shipped in clear, non-sterile liquid form, with a density of 1.0 g/cm and a neutral pH. Properly stored at -20C or lower, it provides a guaranteed shelf life of 12 months from manufacture.
FAQs of Rabbit Anti-Goat Whole Serum:
Q: How is Rabbit Anti-Goat Whole Serum typically used in the laboratory?
A: Rabbit Anti-Goat Whole Serum is commonly used as a secondary antibody for detecting goat primary antibodies in immunoassays such as ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunohistochemistry. It binds specifically to goat immunoglobulins, enabling sensitive and accurate signal detection.
Q: What are the storage requirements and shelf life for this serum?
A: It should be stored at -20C or below to maintain stability. The recommended shelf life is 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored properly. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve its integrity.
Q: What is the benefit of using this antibody compared to other secondary antibodies?
A: This serum demonstrates high specificity for goat IgGs and does not cross-react with antibodies from human, bovine, mouse, or horse, reducing background noise and false positives in assays. Its 95% IgG purity, confirmed by SDS-PAGE, ensures consistent and robust performance.
Q: How is the quality of Rabbit Anti-Goat Whole Serum verified?
A: Every batch is quality tested using ELISA and Western Blot techniques to confirm specificity and performance. A Certificate of Analysis is available upon request, ensuring traceability and confidence in your results.
Q: When is it advisable to request the antibody concentration or Certificate of Analysis?
A: Researchers may request antibody concentration or a Certificate of Analysis when precise experimental conditions are critical or for compliance with documentation standards in regulated settings. These are readily available on request for each lot.
Q: Where can this antibody be applied outside standard immunoassays?
A: While most frequently used in immunodetection, the antibodys specificity and stability make it suitable for other applications such as immunoprecipitation and related research protocols involving goat immunoglobulins.
