Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Unit Definition

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will cause the same turbidity reduction as 1.0 unit of International Standard preparation.

Reconstitution

Following reconstitution, store in the refrigerator (4°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 1 week at 4°C.
Reconstitute in 20 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.9, 0.45% NaCl, and 0.01% BSA.

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. I am doing experiments on hyaluronidase activity and I would like information on how the reconstituted enzyme performs after being frozen and thawed at both -20C and -80C

    1 answer
    1. It is recommended to reconstitute this product in 20 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.9, 0.45% NaCl, and 0.01% BSA at 5 mg/mL. Following reconstitution, store at 2 - 8°C up to 1 week. Stock solutions may be stored in working aliquots at -20°C for several months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
