PDGF BB Rat

Data sheet

Formulation

PDGF-BB was lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated solution in 1xPBS, pH 7.0.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized PDGF-BB in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Purity

Greater than 98.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
