Storage and Stability
Store unopened antibody at 2–8 °C. Under these conditions, there is no signicant loss in product
performance up to the expiry date indicated on the vial label. Do not use after expiration date
indicated on the vial label. The reconstituted antibody is stable for at least two months when
stored at 2–8 °C. For long term storage, it is recommended that aliquots of the reconstituted
antibody are stored frozen at -20 °C (frost-free freezers are not recommended). Repeated
freezing and thawing must be avoided. Prepare working dilutions on the day of use. Return to
2–8 °C immediately after use. Storage conditions other than those specied above must be
veried by the user.
