Stability Data

 

Stability tests were performed with StabilGuard stabilizer using either rabbit monoclonal or polyclonal IgG antibodies (see graph at right).  Coated microtiter plates were stabilized with either StabilGuard stabilizer or 1% BSA. The antibody-coated plates were dried and placed at room temperature.  Percent retained activity was determined by comparing the activity of the aged antibody-coated microtiter plates to that of freshly coated plates.  After 30 months in StabilGuard stabilizer at room temperature, the monoclonal antibody retained greater than 85% activity and the polyclonal antibody retained 90% activity.
