Storage and Stability
Prior to use:
1. Remove the Fixative/Denaturing Solution and place at room temperature for at least 4 h prior to use. Precipitates that may occur while cold should go back into solution.
2. Reconstitute the Peroxidase Goat Anti-Mouse IgG with the appropriate volume of 1X PBS.
• For the 200 test kit, reconstitute Peroxidase Goat Anti-Mouse IgG in 125 µl of 1X PBS. Use Conjugate Diluent for any further lot-specific dilution.
• For the 1000 test kit, reconstitute Peroxidase Goat Anti-Mouse IgG in 250 µl of 1X PBS. Use Conjugate Diluent for any further lot-specific dilution.
Allow solution to stand at room temperature for 10 min. (or until solution is clear). Divide into small aliquots; aliquots not to be used that same day should be stored at -20°C in a non-frostfree freezer.
Once the kit components have been thawed for use:
• The BrdU label and 100X Anti-BrdU Antibody should be divided into small aliquots and stored at -20°C in a non-frostfree freezer with the Peroxidase Goat Anti-Mouse IgG; avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
• All the other kit components (Substrate, Antibody Diluent, Conjugate Diluent, 20X Plate Wash Concentrate, Fixative/Denaturing Solution, Stop Solution) should be stored at 4°C.
