General description

4-Hydroxyazobenzene-2-carboxylic acid (HABA) is an avidin-binding dye that can be stoichiometrically displaced by biotin. The subsequent change in absorption at A500 provides a basis for spectrophotometric determination of biotin levels in biological samples.
HABA/Avidin Reagent is specific for chromogenic applications that depend upon quantification of biotin.

Application

HABA/Avidin Reagent is suitable for spectrophotometric determination of biotin and biotin conjugates in a wide variety of samples.
Reagent is capable of detecting biotin at μMolar concentrations (i.e., 1 nmole per ml). Typically used to quantitate biotin in biotinylated compounds.

Preparation Note

Prepares a ready-to-use HABA/avidin solution in buffered saline, pH approx. 7.3, with preservative when reconstituted with 10 ml deionized water.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. I would like to know how many assays can be done with a VIAL KIT and how much material it contains,

    1 answer
    1. This product is sufficient for ≤10 assays. When reconstituted with 10 ml deionized water, each vial will yield a solution with a pH of approximately 7.3, containing the following components: 0.3 mM 4-Hydroxyazobenzene-2-carboxylic acid (HABA), 0.45 mg/ml avidin, 0.3 M sodium chloride (NaCl), 0.01 M N-[2-Hydroxyethyl]piperazine-NN-[2-ethanesulfonic acid] (HEPES), a buffer with a pKa of 7.5, 0.01 M magnesium chloride (MgCl2), and 0.02% sodium azide as a preservative.

      Helpful?

  2. how much HABA is in the vial

    1 answer
    1. When reconstituted to 10mL, the vial will contain 0.3 mM HABA. Based on the molecular weight of HABA, 242.23 gmol, the calculated mass per vial is 726.69 ug. Please see the link below to review additional informaition available in the product datasheet:
