Human Corticotrophin Reference standard

• Cat.No.: Corticotrophin-54H

Specification

• Species: Human
• Usage: For practical purposes each ampoule contains the same quantity of the above materials. The entire contents of each ampoule should be completely dissolved in an accurately measured amount of solvent. No attempt should be made to weigh out portions of the freeze-dried powder. For economy in use, it is recommended that the solution, without further dilution, is sub-divided into several small containers and stored at -30°C or below. To maintain full activity of such stored aliquots, it is suggested that the solution of the ampoule contents and its subdivision and freezing by liquid N2 or a mixture of solid CO2 and ethanol is done rapidly and that repeated freezing and thawing be avoided. A dilute solution prepared for use in an assay should be kept cool (e.g. 4°C) and should contain not less than 0.1% w/v carrier protein (free of proteolytic enzymes). The material has not been sterilized and the ampoules contain no bacteriotstat.
