Human Interleukin-6 (rDNA derived) Reference standard

• Cat.No.: IL6-100H
• Product Overview: Calibrant for IL-6 assays.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Enzyme Unit: Each ampoule contains approx. 1.0 μg IL-6. The assigned potency is 100,000 international units (IU) per ampoule.
• Usage: No attempt should be made to weigh out any portion of the freeze-dried material prior to reconstitution. For all practical purposes each ampoule contains the same amount of the same materials. Dissolve the total contents in a known amount of a suitable buffer solution with carrier protein (free of peptidase), where extensive dilution is required, to minimise loss by surface adsorption. For economy of use, it is recommended that the solution be sub-divided into several small containers, which are frozen rapidly to below –40°C then stored below –40°C in the dark. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
• Notes: This preparation is not for administration to humans. The preparation contains material of human origin, and either the final product or the source materials, from which it is derived, have been tested and found negative for HBsAg, anti-HIV and HCV RNA. 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.
• Stability: Reference materials are held at Creative Biomart within assured, temperature- controlled storage facilities and they should be stored on receipt as indicated on the label. Accelerated degradation studies have indicated that this material is suitably stable, when stored at -20°C or below, for the assigned values to remain valid until the material is withdrawn or replaced. These studies have also shown that the material is suitably stable for shipment at ambient temperature without any effect on the assigned values. Once reconstituted, diluted or aliquoted, users should determine the stability of the material according to their own method of preparation, storage and use. Users who have data supporting any deterioration in the characteristics of any reference preparation are encouraged to contact Creative Biomart.
• Storage: Unopened ampoules should be stored at –20°C. Please note: because of the inherent stability of lyophilized material, Creative Biomart may ship these materials at ambient temperature.
