Target: Mouse
Host: Goat
Antibody Format: Whole IgG
Specificity: IgM, μ chain specific
Conjugate: Horseradish Peroxidase
Product Category: Whole IgG Affinity-Purified Antibodies
Clonality: Polyclonal
RRID: AB_2338502

Physical State: Freeze-dried solid
Storage and Rehydration: Store freeze-dried solid at 2-8°C. Rehydrate with the indicated volume of dH2O and centrifuge if not clear. Prepare working dilution on day of use. Product is stable for about 6 weeks at 2-8°C as an undiluted liquid.
Extended Storage after Rehydration: Aliquot and freeze at -70°C or below. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Alternatively, add an equal volume of glycerol (ACS grade or better) for a final concentration of 50%, and store at -20°C as a liquid.
Expiration date: one year from date of rehydration. The expiration date may be extended if test results are acceptable for the intended use.

Purity: The antibody was purified from antisera by immunoaffinity chromatography using antigens coupled to agarose beads.
Buffer: 0.01M Sodium Phosphate, 0.25M NaCl, pH 7.6
Stabilizer: 15 mg/ml Bovine Serum Albumin (IgG-Free, Protease-Free)
Preservative: None (Warning: Use of sodium azide as a preservative will substantially inhibit the enzyme activity of horseradish peroxidase.)

Suggested Working Concentration or Dilution Range:
1:500 - 1:5,000 for immunohisto/cytochemistry
1:5,000 - 1:100,000 for ELISA and Western blotting with chromogenic substrates
1:10,000 - 1:200,000 for Western blotting with ECL substrates


Dilution factors are presented in the form of a range because the optimal dilution is a function of many factors, such as antigen density, permeability, etc. The actual dilution used must be determined empirically.
