CF®488A Goat Anti-Human IgM (Mu Chain), 2mg/mL

This is a goat anti-human IgM (mu chain) secondary antibody labeled with our bright and photostable CF® dyes. The antibodies react specifically with IgM heavy chains (mu chains) and not with immunoglobulin light chains. To minimize cross reactivity, the antibodies are cross-adsorbed against  human IgG prior to conjugation.

• Cross-adsorbed for specific staining with minimal background
• Available in 4 bright and photostable CF® dyes
• Suitable for western, immunofluorescence, and immunohistology

Storage and Handling

Liquid format: Store at -20°C, protected from light. Product is stable for at least 6 months from date of receipt when stored as recommended. Liquid format antibodies contain 50% glycerol and will not freeze at -20°C.

Lyophilized format: Store at -20°C, protected from light. Product is stable for at least 6 months from date of receipt when stored as recommended. Reconstitute antibodies in water using the indicated volumes below:

CF® Dye and biotin conjugates: add 0.5 mL dH₂O

HRP or DNP conjugates: add 1 mL dH₂O

Add the indicated volume of water directly to the vial containing the lyophilized antibody and mix gently to dissolve. Store reconstituted antibody at -20°C and protect from light. Aliquot to avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Alternatively, an equal volume of glycerol can be mixed with the reconstituted antibody so that it will remain liquid at -20°C.

Optional: A preservative such as 0.05% sodium azide (final concentration) can be added to CF® Dye and biotin conjugates. Do not add sodium azide to HRP conjugates.

Note: Storage of the antibody for more than a day at final working dilution is not recommended.
