Yes, as per the product datasheet, stock solutions can be prepared at a concentration of 100 units/mL in a 0.1% (w/v) BSA solution. Following reconstitution, use a low protein-binding 0.2 um syringe filter to sterilize. Aliquot and store the sterile stock solution in plastic tubes rather than glass to reduce adsorption.

General description
Thrombin is the final coagulation protease in regard to hemostasis, promoting both procoagulant and anticoagulant effects.
Application
Thrombin is used for site specific cleavage of recombinant fusion proteins containing an accessible thrombin recognition site for removal of affinity tags. Thrombin has been used in a study to assess persistent hypocoagulability in patients with septic shock.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Serine protease that selectively cleaves Arg-Gly bonds in fibrinogen to form fibrin and fibrinopeptides A and B.
Physical form
Lyophilized powder containing sodium chloride and Tris-HCl, pH 7.0
Preparation Note
Activated with bovine brain thromboplastin.
Analysis Note
Activity is expressed in NIH units obtained by direct comparison to a NIH Thrombin Reference Standard, Lot K.
The NIH assay procedure uses 0.2 mL of diluted plasma (1:1 with saline) as a substrate and 0.1 mL of thrombin sample (stabilized in a 1% buffered albumin solution) based on a modification of the method of Biggs. Only clotting times in the range of 15-25 seconds are used for determining thrombin concentrations.
Other Notes
Activity is expressed in NIH units obtained by direct comparison to a NIH thrombin reference standard.

10KUは1KUの10倍量でしょうか？ 1KUのg数を教えてください。
1 answer-
Yes, the 10KU is 10 times the amount of the 1 KU pack size, the equivalent of 10,000 units. The gram quantity is lot-specific and dependent upon the protein content and the unit activity per milligram protein. This product may range from 40 - 60% protein and the activity may range from 40 - 300 units per milligram protein. At the minimum of 40% protein and 40 units per milligram protein, the amount of material per 10KU bottle is 625 mg. Please see the link below to review a sample or lot-specific Certificate:

I just bought this thrombin to cleave HisTag from recombinant proteins but I am struggling in understanding how much /mg of purified recombinant protein I have to use. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks a lot
1 answer-
The amount of thrombin to use depends on the protein expression system. Optimization is needed for each specific protein, and 1 to 10 units per mg of recombinant protein can be used as a starting point.

I was cleave gfp from my protein which is dissovled in PBS. Should I make thrombin stock in pbs or bsa?
1 answer-
The recommended preparation instructions, per the product information sheet, are 10 mg/mL in water or 100 units/mL in a 0.01% BSA solution. Stock solutions of either aforementioned recommendations can then be added to PBS at the desired usage concentration. The addition of BSA to the stock solution will aid in long-term product stability when stored at -20 deg. C. See the link below to review the product information sheet:
