Special Products

Most of your antibodies are provided in a buffer with sodium azide, is it possible to get them without it?

A: In theory it could be possible to send the antibody without sodium azide, but we really do not recommend that. If we leave sodium azide out we will not take any responsibility about the product after it leaves our premises and we are not giving any expiry date for such products. Also the price will be higher and lead time longer. Since it takes only a simple dialysis step to get rid of the sodium azide we really recommend our customers to do that step just before they start their work.

A: For unconjugated antibodies the storage temperature is always +4ºC but for some conjugated antibodies it could be -20ºC. We recommend always storing our antibodies as directed on the datasheet. We are unable to guarantee how the antibody will perform if not stored as stated on the datasheet.
