Human Calcitonin Reference standard

• Cat.No.: CALCA-101H

Specification

• Species: Human
• Enzyme Unit: Each ampoule of the reference standard contains 17.5 INTERNATIONAL UNITS.
• Usage: For all practical purposes, each ampoule of the Reference Standard contains the same quantity of the substances listed above. Dissolve the total contents of the ampoule in a known volume of suitable solvent (buffer at pH 3.5) with carrier protein where extensive dilution is required. No attempt should be made to weigh out any portion of the freeze-dried material. For economy of use, it is recommended that the solution be sub-divided into several small containers, frozen rapidly eg. in dry ice and stored at -40°C or below. Careful evaluation will be needed to determine a feasible time of storage.
• Notes: This preparation is not for administration to humans. As with all materials of biological origin, this preparation should be regarded as potentially hazardous to health. It should be used and discarded according to your own laboratorys safety procedures. Such safety procedures should include the wearing of protective gloves and avoiding the generation of aerosols. Care should be exercised in opening ampoules or vials, to avoid cuts.
• Storage: Unopened ampoules of the standard should be stored below -20°C in the dark. Please note: because of the inherent stability of lyophilized material, Creative Biomart may ship these materials at ambient temperature.
