Background
Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory drug used for pain relief, fever reduction and against swelling. It is one of the most sold over-the-counter drugs. It is found in the environment, especially in the water environment in the vicinity of large cities and hospitals.

Source
Rabbit immune serum

Immunogen: BSA-Ibuprofen derivative conjugate

Product
Each vial contains 0.5 ml 0,8mg/ml of purified (caprylic acid) polyclonal antibody containing 0.02% sodium azide.

Specificity
Target: Ibuprofen, CAS no.: 15687-27-1, Solubility: Organic solvents, PEGs.

Species Reactivity: The specificity of the antibody was determined by measuring the cross-reactivity in ELISA for a range of compounds. Cross Reactivity Compound tested % Cross- reactivity Ibuprofen 100% Bezafibrate 0.4% Gemfibrozil 0.2% Bisphenol A 0.6% Carazolol <0.1% Metoprolol 0.1% Chlorpyrifos 0.3% Naproxen 2.2% Clofibrinic acid 0.3% Nonylphenol 1.3% Diclofenac <0.1% Octylphenol 0.6% Erythromycine 0.1% Propanolol 0.1% Fenitrothion 0.5% Vinclozolin <0.1% Fenofibrate 0.5% Zearalenon 0.2%

Applications
The antibody may be used in ELISA and Immuno-affinity-chromatography (IAC). Suggested dilution 1:300 in ELISA (this titer is defined as the dilution that gives 50 % of the absorbance from the maximum absorbance when tested with ELISA). Plates are coated with 400 ng/ml ovalbumine-conjugated derivative. HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG should be used as a tracer in a 1:8,000 dilution.

Storage
Store at 4 °C or -20 °C. The working antibody solution is stable for at least 7 days at 4 °C. Precautions should be taken for storage for longer periods. Problems of longterm stability may occur with highly diluted solutions. For lng storage purposes in solution the addition of sodium azide to 0.02 % is advised with the appropriate precautions of use.

Shipping Conditions: Ship at ambient temperature.
