Storage and Stability
Store unopened lyophilized antibody at 2-8 °C. Under these conditions, there is no significant 
loss in product performance up to the expiry date indicated on the vial label. The reconstituted 
antibody is stable for at least two months when stored at 2-8 °C. For long term storage, it is 
recommended that aliquots of the antibody are frozen at -20 °C (frost-free freezers are not 
recommended). Repeated freezing and thawing must be avoided. Prepare working dilutions on 
the day of use.
Warnings and Precautions
This reagent has been prepared from the supernatant of cell culture. As it is a biological product, 
reasonable care should be taken when handling it. This reagent contains sodium azide. A 
Material Safety Data Sheet is available upon request or available from www.LeicaBiosystems.
