Background
Alkylphenols are used as starting material for the production of surface active substances, detergents, pesticides, paints, textile and paper. It is released during the production and use of these products. Alkylphenols are recognized as endocrine disruptors, in particular estrogenic endocrine disruptors.

Source
Rabbit IgG purified by caprylic acid extraction.

Immunogen: BSA-C8-alkylphenol conjugate

Product
Each vial contains 0.5 ml 0.8 mg/ml of affinity purified polyclonal antibody in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) containing 0.02% sodium azide.

Applications
The antibody may be used in ELISA and IAC. For ELISA, the recommended dilution is 1:200, depending on the conjugate used for detection. For positive controls ELISA plates are coated with 400 ng/ml BSA-conjugated C6/C8-alkylphenol.

Storage
This working antibody solution is stable for at least 7 days at 4 °C. Precautions should be taken upon storage for longer periods. Problems of long term stability may occur with highly diluted solutions. For long storage purposes to diluted solutions the addition of sodium azide at 0.02 % is advised with the appropriate precautions of use.

Shipping Conditions: At ambient temperature
