Species Human
Purity >95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
Biological Activity Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The potency per mg was tested by Pyrogallic Acid method and was found to be more than 10,000units/mg.
Endotoxin Level Less than 0.2EU/ug of rHu Cu/Zn SOD as determined by LAL method.
Measured Molecular Weight Approximately 31 kDa. a homodimer, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 2 × 153 amino acids.
Physical Appearance Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Reconstitution We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at < -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Formulation Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
Usage This material is for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE.
Storage & Stability This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 °C, but should be kept at -20 °C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8 °C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 °C to -70 °C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
